Atlanta Public Schools’ families have until the end of February to apply for enrollment to a charter school through the district’s centralized system.

New student applications for the 2022-2023 school year are open through Feb. 28. Families will learn the results of the lottery admissions process on March 7.

Seven APS-authorized charter schools accept applications through the district’s online system, which allows parents to apply to one or more schools with a single application.

Participating schools include Atlanta Classical Academy, Atlanta Neighborhood Charter School, Centennial Academy, The Kindezi Schools — West Lake, The Kindezi Schools — Old Fourth Ward, Wesley International Academy and Westside Atlanta Charter School.
