Enrollment

Learning Gate is now accepting applications for the 25-26 school year and for the 26-27 Lottery. When the number of student applications exceeds the number of available seats, we hold a lottery. If there are more applications than there are openings, the remaining student applicant’s will be placed on the school’s waitlist. As stated in Learning Gate’s Charter Contract enrollment preference is given to siblings of currently enrolled students, children of staff members and children of Governing Board Members. The Lottery for 2026-2027 is scheduled for Friday March 6, 2026.
