There are no tests or qualifications required to attend Manara Academy. Timely application and availability of space are the determining factors for enrollment.

Any student who lives within our acceptance school districts and who submits a timely application may attend Manara Academy. If the number of applications exceeds the school's capacity, applicants will be selected through a lottery process.

Step 1: Parent Completes  the Online Application Form and Submits

Step 2: Parent will be given a number for use in the Lottery Process. (Applications are not first come first serve)

Step 3: Open-Lottery will be conducted

If enrollment exceeds the school’s capacity during the specified enrollment period, a lottery will be held to determine student placement. If enrollment does not exceed charter capacity during the specified enrollment period, students will be automatically enrolled at the end of the specified time. Waiting lists will automatically be developed for each grade level.

Step 4: Notification of Acceptance

Parents are welcome to join the Open Lottery, after the lottery is conducted a spreadsheet will be on the website to notify the parents of their child/children's enrollment/waitlist

In order to guarantee your child’s placement, parents/guardians must make an appointment to fill out the enrollment forms that are only available in the Registrar's Office.

Wait-list

If you have received notification that your child has been added to the waitlist for the 2012-2013 school year, we will notify you as soon as a space opens.
