K-12 Tuition-Free Public Charter School: Creating community-minded leaders
LOTTERY
The FACS Lottery was held annually in March, after the close of Open Enrollment. The 2023 lottery will be held on March 20th at 5pm. See a copy of this year's recording below.
Annually, a Zoom link is available for families to watch the process, if they desire. Families are NOT required to attend the lottery to be eligible for enrollment. Admissions notifications will be sent out via SchoolMint shortly after the lottery concludes. The date and link will be publicized in late February.
Please note, the live lottery process does not display any personal identifying information to the public. You will not have confirmation of an offer announced during the webinar. Families will receive admissions offers or waitlist status updates via email or text immediately following the process.
ADMISSION LOTTERY FOR PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS
The open enrollment application period begins on January 1st each year. The window runs until February 28th. Anyone who completes an application during this window will be entered into the admissions lottery in March. If you complete an application outside of this window, you will not be entered into the lottery and will receive a spot on the waitlist. We strongly encourage families to apply by the February 28th deadline so their child(ren) have the best chance of receiving and admissions offer. Please apply online at https://faithacademy.schoomint.net.
AFTER THE LOTTERY
After the lottery is held each year, each applicant will receive a notification by email or text, whichever method they indicated on the application, at the completion of the lottery, notifying them of their admission offer or position on the waitlist. If selected, your child will receive and admission offer that must be accepted or declined within 48 hours of offer. If your child is waitlisted, you will be notified if they receive an offer when a spot becomes available.
