CURRENT YEAR APPLICATIONS

The deadline to apply for the 2024-25 school year was January 22, 2024. You can still apply by submitting a current year application. However, your application will be placed on a waitlist and will not be eligible to be entered into the lottery. Review our Family User Policy Manual to learn more about this process.

RESEARCH YOUR OPTIONS

The application window for September 2025 is September 20, 2024 through January 21, 2025. Until then, research your school options using GreatPhillySchools to determine where you want to apply. Check back on September 20 to submit your application for next year.

APPLY TO YOUR ASSIGNED NEIGHBORHOOD CHARTER SCHOOL

Renaissance (neighborhood) charter schools accept applications on a rolling basis. If your assigned neighborhood school is a charter school, you can still apply for the 2024-2025 school year by submitting a current year application. Eligible applicants will be offered admission on a first come, first served basis based on seat availability. Most other schools do not have space for this school year and you will be placed on the waitlist. Visit GreatPhillySchools for a list of schools with open seats for the current school year. Please check which participating schools are accepting current year applications here.
