Admissions Policy

Applicants who wish to attend LISA Academy will submit a completed application packet no later than the admissions closing date preceding the start of the school year. The student enrollment calendar for each school year will be announced in school web site. There may be also online applications in enrollment period. The admissions closing date will be May 15, 2008 for grades K thru 8 applications for 2008-2009 school years. If the number of applicants exceeds the maximum enrollment number decided by the Lisa Foundation Board, the school shall use a lottery selection as a basis for admission. If a lottery is required, each student will be assigned a number, and numbers will be selected at random by computer software or by the principal under the supervision of at least two members of the governing board. Also a waiting list will be generated for the future vacant spaces.

Every single policy described above is a step to be taken towards our mission without making any form of discrimination among applicants. Every individual applicant will be given equal opportunity in the admissions process. LISA Academy emphasizes that if the number of new applicants exceeds the maximum enrollment number, any eligible applicant will be accepted on a lottery basis, regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, ethnicity, sexual orientation, mental or physical disability, age, ancestry, or athletic performance. We welcome all eligible applicants, since our final goal is nothing but to educate our citizens and we believe that all citizens are of equal value and deserving the best education possible.
