ADMISSIONS

Background: FLCA is an accredited charter school in the province of Alberta. Each year, all students, whether returning or new, must complete an enrollment application. Enrollment decisions are made by the administration, considering several factors holistically inclusive of alignment with the FLCA Charter Vision, Mission, Teaching Philosophy, and Program Policies. Priority is given to returning students and their siblings where possible. It is our goal to be inclusive and to ensure that FLCA program will best support the student's success. There is no designated catchment area for school applications of this Charter School.

​

Application Timeline: Applications are initially open until January 30th of each calendar year for the upcoming school year starting in September. After this date, we determine eligibility and priority for applications submitted by January 30th. Acceptance is then based on a lottery system, with remaining applications waitlisted if applicable. For any open spaces, a new application period will open, following the same process.

​

Application Procedure:

​

1. Online Application: Families complete an online application form for each child in January during the first phase of the application process.

2. Document Submission: Families provide requested documents, such as birth certificates and final report cards from the previous school.

3. Lottery Selection: In the second phase, students are selected through a lottery (random selection), with sibling considerations. 

4. Administrative Interview: Selected families attend an administrative interview focusing on elements of the Charter and programming for the learner, including Entrepreneurship, Spanish, and Global Awareness, to ensure the family agrees to and supports the school’s Mission, Vision, and policies.

5. Assessment and Confirmation: The administrative team assesses alignment with the Charter, configures class cohorts, and sends confirmation letters to families.

6. Enrollment Decision: Families are contacted, and the school awaits their confirmation of enrollment.

7. Finalizing Enrollment: This process continues until all available placements are filled.

 

​Your understanding is appreciated as acceptance, denial and waitlist letters will be issued gradually during the application processing periods. The majority of letters will be sent between January and March. Please contact administration should you have any further questions.

Thank you for your interest in FLCA. We eagerly anticipate reviewing your application.
