Enrollment INFORMATION
Beehive Academy serves students in kindergarten through 12th grades with a maximum class size of 25 students in elementary and 27 students in secondary. Beehive Academy is an open-enrollment public charter school, open to all eligible students on a space-availability basis and does not discriminate in its admissions policies or practices on the basis of race, color, national origin, creed, sex, ethnicity, sexual orientation, mental or physical disability, age, religion, ancestry, or athletic performance.
If you are interested in learning more about Beehive, before reading more about the enrollment process, please join one of our upcoming Open House Presentations. Here is the RSVP link: https://www.beehiveacademy.org/openhouse/
Open enrollment begins in December and ends couple days before the lottery date. If, at the end of the open enrollment period, the number of Open Enrollment Applicants exceeds the number of seats available for any grade, a lottery will be held on a specified date in the month of February to determine which applicants will be enrolled in that grade. For detailed information about the lottery procedure, please check the BSTA Lottery Procedure below.
If, at the end of the open enrollment deadline and after the lottery, there are still openings, we will continue accepting applications until all openings for new students are filled. All the parents of the students selected in the lottery will be contacted following the lottery with additional information. The parents of a child selected for the enrollment must accept the position by submitting any registration related forms, documents and fees (if applicable) by a set date. If the registration forms and fees are not completed and received in a timely manner, the enrollment will be terminated and the next student on the waiting list will be considered for enrollment on that slot. Students will be accepted based on available space and grade distribution.
All parents interested in enrolling their students at BSTA must complete an online application and submit the required documents to the school front office. The first preference in admissions is given to currently enrolled students. Second preference is given to children of founding members and staff of the school. Third preference is given to siblings of students already enrolled in the school. The remaining spaces will be filled by open-enrollment applicants.
