Our Application Process

All completed applications received during the Open Enrollment Period (the first Monday each November to the second Wednesday each January) are placed in the electronic Lottery without regard to preference status. Email notifications will be sent to all student applicants indicating their status. Those student families who are offered admission but fail to respond within the acceptance time will be deemed to have declined the offer of admission and forfeit their right to enrollment. Please read our Admissions Policy for detailed information on our Lottery process.

WE ARE MOVING TO DELAWARE, HOW DO I APPLY?

The State of Delaware REQUIRES applicants to be a resident of Delaware WHEN they apply. Therefore you MUST BE LIVING in the state by the second Wednesday of January in order to submit an online application and be included in our Lottery.

If you have a Purchase Agreement or are Under Contract for Purchase/New Construction, you must make settlement and be residing in the home prior to the Open Enrollment close on the second Wednesday of January. Based on prior years, we anticipate only the High School campus having capacity to accept late applications.

You will be required to (pre) register your child with your Resident School District in order to complete your lottery application, the Resident School District will need proof of current in-state residency to complete the (pre) registration.

WE ARE MOVING TO APPOQUINIMINK DISTRICT, HOW DO I RECEIVE PREFERENCE?

For families who are under contract for purchase/new construction or planning to move: Under state law families are NOT permitted to use a future address in your application. The purchase/settlement MUST be completed, and you must be living in the district to receive a preference. Offers of enrollment require a proof of residency, if an applicant cannot provide, the school may revoke the offer of enrollment.

For applicants who use their current Delaware address then move into the Appoquinimink District after the second Wednesday of January, which is the close of the state's Open Enrollment period, a copy of the proof of residency (a recent utility bill with service address such as water, electric, etc) can be brought to the office and the preference will be applied to your application.
