Enrollment and Application Process

Our Academies: BOLT - Heritage - Bridge

If you are interested in attending any of our Academies, you will start the process by completing our Innovations and Options application. The application is the same, regardless of which Academy you will attend. You do NOT have to know which Academy you want to attend in order to apply.

Here is general order/timeline of how our enrollment process works.

1) Submit completed application.

2) Enrollment center staff will review applications and contact each family to discuss the students' goals, needs, and eligibility. The intake meeting will serve as an opportunity for you to learn more and to determine the Academy that will best fit the students' needs.

3) All approved students will be initially placed on the waitlist for that Academy.

4) Prior to the next available admission start date, students will be selected from the waitlist based on seats available in the desired Academy. Students are not necessarily accepted on first-come, first-serve basis. Each Academy has a set of criteria to determine a student's order in the waitlist.

5) All accepted students from the waitlist will be contacted regarding next steps and orientation information. If there are more students than seats available, those who do not get a seat will be contacted to determine if that student would like to remain on the waitlist for the next admission date.

Admission Start Dates for 2018-2019

*All programs have limited seats, and may or may not have available seats at any given admission date.

Starting in the 2018-2019 school year, all Innovations & Options Academies will be on 6-week, hexter terms. Students must be approved and enrolled BEFORE the first day of the term to start that term. Due the intense and short time frame of a 6-week period, we will not enroll students late in a term.

If a student is ready to enroll, but it falls after the first day of the hexter, they will be scheduled to start the following term.

Hexter start dates for 2018-2019:

Hexter 1: Aug 9 

Hexter 2: Sep 25

Hexter 3: Nov 6

Hexter 4 (Semester 2): Jan 8

Hexter 5: Feb 19

Hexter 6: we do not anticipate enrolling any new students during Hexter 6.
