Open Enrollment

Open Enrollment for 2025-2026 begins January 13, 2025 and ends February 16, 2025. All applications submitted within the Open Enrollment period will have an equal opportunity for admission, regardless of whether they are submitted on the first day or the last day of Open Enrollment.

If the number of applications submitted within the Open Enrollment period exceeds the number of seats available for any grade level, a system-generated, random lottery will be processed to determine who is offered a seat at the school. Lottery results will be emailed to the address entered in the application as well as posted on your SchoolMint Patent Dashboard. For more information regarding lottery preferences, enrollment, and registration, please read our Lottery Rules​​​​​​​.

Required documents to finalize enrollment: Residency Requirements:
Families who rent/own under their OWN family name-- Two proofs of residency are required to enroll at CSUSA Louisiana schools. All names and addresses MUST match.

If a utility bill is being used as ONE proof of residency, it must document at least 60 DAYS of service.

In MOST cases, TWO SEPARATE BILLS (of the same utility) will need to be submitted.

For example: July Entergy bill (30 days) + August Entergy bill (30 days) = 1 utility proof of residency (60 days).


Families with other living arrangements--

If the parent/legal guardian does not own or rent a residence and therefore lives with another individual, they will be required to provide a notarized affidavit of residency signed by the parent/legal guardian of the student AND the individual with whom they are living.


Affidavit of residency must contain: Student’s name Name of parent/legal guardian Address of parent/legal guardian Name of the individual with whom the parent/legal guardian is living.

A statement of attestation by the parent/legal guardian that the student is living with them at the residence and has no other residence or domicile.

A statement of attestation by the individual that the parent/legal guardian is living that these persons do reside with the individual listed.



The individual that the parent/legal guardian is living with must provide three (3) forms of evidence of residency from the acceptable documents list.


If parents are separated, divorced, or the legal guardian is someone other than the biological parents then legal custody documentation, signed by a judge with a docket number in its entirety, must be provided indicating the legal custodian or domiciliary parent.

School Capacity: 860 Enrollment Q & A

How can I find out information about your school?
We encourage our interested families to attend an enrollment information session to find out more about our school’s programs and offerings as this is the perfect platform to ask your questions to faculty and staff. We also offer tours on an ongoing basis. Visit our events page to see a list of information sessions and tours being offered.

Are there age restrictions for school grade levels?
Louisiana Law specifies that children who have attained the age of five years by September 30th of the school year are eligible for admission to public kindergarten during that school year.



How can I apply if I do not have a computer or internet access?
Contact our school for assistance. Can I list all my children on one application?

Each child’s application becomes part of their registration in our student information system where grades, schedules, and attendance are stored. Please complete a separate application for each one of your children and list the siblings within each application to receive sibling preference.

If my child is a current student, do I need to apply again?

No, your child automatically has a space in the appropriate grade if the Intent to Return for the next school year is completed by the deadline.

If I have one child who currently attends your school and I would like my other child to attend, what should I do?

You need to fill out an application during open enrollment for the other child. Please remember to list the currently enrolled student under the “sibling attending” section of the application to receive sibling preference in the lottery.

Open Enrollment has ended, am I still able to apply?

We continuously accept applications through the last day of the school year that you are applying for. If there is a seat available in the grade level that you are applying for, an offer will be made through email. If there are no openings in the grade level you are applying for, your child’s application will be placed on the waitlist in the date order the application was received.

I am currently on the waitlist. Does the waitlist expire once the new lottery is run or does it carry over?

Applications are year specific. Applications submitted for the current school year will not be valid, rollover, or be processed in the next school year. If your child is currently on the waitlist, please submit a new application during the next school year’s Open Enrollment period.

If my child is on the waitlist, do I need to contact you to find out where he/she stands on the list?

Parents can log in to the ACE Parent Dashboard at any time to find where their child is on the waitlist.

My child is on the waitlist but has moved down a spot. How is this possible? Undoubtedly this is frustrating. We follow the preferences permitted by the state (sibling, military, employee, etc.). For example, when one sibling is accepted and has another sibling waitlisted in another grade, that waitlisted sibling gets an enrollment preference, meaning they move to the top of the waitlist. This means that occasionally parents will see their children move down the list instead of up.

What happens if my child’s name is chosen during the lottery?

You will be contacted by email if your child is offered a seat or placed on the waitlist. Once your student receives an offer, you will need to login via the ACE Parent Dashboard and accept the offer within 5 business days or the offer will be automatically declined. After accepting the offer, you will have 10 business days to complete the online registration in the ACE Parent Dashboard and provide all the required documents. Please see the Enrolling with our Online Registration section above for the specific documents required.

Is there a tuition fee to attend?
No, we are a public school and there is no cost to attend. Does my child need to wear a uniform?

We have a dress code at school. Students must follow the dress code every day. More information regarding our dress code can be found on our website under the Parents tab.
