To apply for the 2024-25 (next)  school year for the 3 day or 5 day program

 STEP 1-  When deciding on a school for your child, it is a must to gather accurate and detailed information to support choosing the right school for your child.  To attend our PARENT INFORMATION SESSION before the lottery, see below for dates. These meetings share must-have information about our school. There is no way for a parent to understand what type of education they are choosing for their child unless they get accurate information. This is the way to get that information. We are unique in every way, from academics to our no behavior modification program. As a school of choice, help yourselves make an informed choice by coming to our information session.

Parent Info Sessions for understanding what you are choosing:

 To complete the application, first register for an account

STEP 3– Once you have completed the application, we will be looking for you to attend an information session. You will be entered into the lottery which will be held on March 3rd, 2024 at 1 p.m.

POST LOTTERY:

If you are accepted, you will receive an email from “LOTTEREASE” (check your email, spam etc.) Acceptance is not the same as enrollment. 

You will have 7 days to decline or accept and complete the enrollment forms. 

If you decline, you will be removed from our system. If you accept and complete the forms, you will be complete. Just wait for school outreach and information.

If you’re not accepted immediately you will be waitlisted. You will receive updates regularly about your status on the waitlist.

If you change your mind and decide not to attend Innovations Academy, please IMMEDIATELY EMAIL info@innovationsacademy.org. It will allow us to accept other students to our program and be adequately prepared for the first day of school.

HLC (2 Day Homeschooling Program) Application

Our HLC program places a majority of the schooling/educational lessons on the parent. It is very different than other homeschooling programs and very different than our 3 and 5 day programs. Why would a parent choose a program they do not know about without first learning all about it? Please attend an Information Session so that you can know if you actually want to apply to the program.

  1. Complete the application here.
  2. Attend a Parent Information Session for the HLC Program (see below)
  3. The lottery for the HLC will be held May 2nd. It is a public lottery and you are welcome to attend.
  4. If there are questions about available spots, please reach out to

Parent Information Sessions

Due to the nature of school choice and the fact that Innovations Academy is a unique school that follows a specially designed instructional model not typically found in public schools,  it is crucial to attend a New Parent Info Session.

Please sign in on your arrival at the presentation. Children are welcome to attend, please bring materials to keep them occupied.
