2021-2022 Admissions information 

We are fully enrolled for this year's 2021-2022 class. However, you are encouraged to submit an online application that will be held in a waiting pool in case openings occur during the school year.

Online application

Lottery Process
Please note the following:
  • Once you finish a section in the online application, you cannot return to that section.
  • The application is to be completed by a parent/legal guardian, and also contains a section for student responses. 
  • The online application requires a receipt number to be entered in the admissions lottery. Your receipt number will be emailed to you. It is your responsibility to ensure that the application was received. 
    Contact the school registrar by email at acsaregistrar@nomeschools.org or call 443-6207 if you do not receive a receipt number.
A. All new applications will be held without numbers between April lotteries.

B. Lotteries will proceed as follows:
Applications are sorted first by grade level, and then by the following enrollment priority categories within grade level:
1.) Children of ACSA certified staff,
2.) Siblings of enrolled ACSA students,
3.) Founding Family children, and
4.) District-wide applications.

Openings are filled first from these priority categories in the order given. When applications exceed the remaining openings, the openings are filled
by random lottery, where each applicant has an equal chance of being drawn.

After all openings are filled, applications not chosen remain in separate waiting pools determined by the grade level and the lottery date.

C. After each lottery, families will be notified of their status and advised that they must notify the school if they wish to remain in the waiting pool. At that time they should provide updated information (address, telephone
number, etc.) if necessary.
