If applications exceed available seats in a grade, the school follows its published lottery and waiting-list procedures. Your campus will confirm the schedule and next steps.
How will we know if our child receives an offer?
Your selected campus will share your application status and any offer. Follow the school’s stated deadline to accept a seat and complete registration.
Can we apply for siblings?
Complete an official application for each child. Answer the sibling questions on the campus form so the school can apply its published enrollment priorities.

What if my child has been homeschooled?
Contact your selected campus about grade placement before completing the official application. The campus can explain any information it needs.

You do not need a separate CCSAM website account to join the list or select a campus. Official applications are completed through the school’s campus-specific application form.
What if our question is not listed?
