Once you submit your online application, BCCA's school registrar will reach out with next steps. If capacity allows enrollment, the below documents will be required to complete the registration/enrollment process. 

Open Enrollment is the time frame that new students can apply for enrollment for the following academic year. Open Enrollment dates will be listed on the website each year. Open Enrollment is not a first-come, first-served timeframe. Only applications submitted by NC residents will be eligible for the lottery. If the number of applications received exceed the capacity of the school or a grade level, then we will conduct a lottery. If all applications can be accepted, then we will not conduct a lottery and all applicants would receive acceptance.

Applications must be completed during Open Enrollment to be included in our lottery. Applications are available online on the school website and at each campus location. Applications submitted after the lottery are accepted based on capacity or waitlisted if necessary.

After Open Enrollment, applications will be accepted for enrollment in the order of submission if space allows (first-come, first-served). If the grade level is at capacity, the applications will be added to the waitlist (after waitlisted applicants from the lottery) in order of submission.

Families have 7 calendar days from the date of acceptance to provide all documents. However, if pulled from the wait list, families have 24 hours to notify they will accept, then they must completed the submission of documents within the 7 days.

Offered applicants that fail accept their seat or to provide the correct documentation in the allotted time could forfeit their seat to the next available applicant and be placed on the waitlist.

Each charter school in North Carolina is open to any student who lives in the state. According to NC law, applicants must live in North Carolina at the time of application. We are a public school that does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, creed, or gender.

No, however we do ask parents to notify us of their plans for the following academic year. We will send an intent to return to confirm your seat(s) for the following school year or notify us if you are not returning.

All applications submitting during Open Enrollment are considered for a lottery if one is necessary. It doesn’t matter if you apply Day 1 of Open Enrollment or on the VERY last day of Open Enrollment, all applicants will be entered into the lottery.

After Open Enrollment, all applications are processed in order of submission. This is when it is important to apply as soon as possible.

Our intent is to keep families together. Siblings of currently enrolled students have priority. In accordance with North Carolina Charter School law (§ 115C-238.29F), siblings of currently enrolled students are given preference to positions that become available.

During the lottery process, students are randomly pulled and placed in seats until no additional seats are available within each grade level. Once a grade level is full, students continue to be randomly pulled, but are then placed on the waitlist. For families with multiple children in the lottery, when one child is randomly pulled, the siblings are then automatically pulled and placed at the exact same time. If there is still room within their grade level at the time of the pull, the siblings will be placed in a seat. If their grade level has been filled at the time of the pull, they will be placed on the waitlist.

Applications after the lottery will be placed based on capacity. Students are accepted if space allows or waitlisted if one is necessary.
