ENROLLMENT DETAILS

SYSTEM-WIDE ENROLLMENT

The Online Application process encompasses the entire school system which, in addition to Orlando Science Schools, includes Seminole Science Charter School, Osceola Science Charter School, and Orlando Science Charter School K-8. If only interested in applying to Orlando Science School the information pertaining to the other schools may be disregarded.

Applying to Multiple Campuses

While only one is required, applicants may apply to up to three (3) schools within Orlando Science Charter School System. Schools should be listed within the same application in order of preference starting with the First Choice School. Applications will be included in the Lottery Drawing/Waitlist for all selected schools according to the choices submitted. If offered a seat at a school that was not listed as the First Choice School, the applicant will continue to remain on the First Choice School Waitlist until offered a seat, or the conclusion of the school year. Note: Proof of in-county residence is required to maintain an offered seat.

ONLINE APPLICATION

Orlando Science School is currently accepting applications for Kindergarten through 6th grade.

Online Applications received during the Open Application Window will be included in the Lottery Drawing. Online Applications submitted following the Open Application Window are still accepted and encouraged and will be added to the Waitlist on a month by month basis.

IMPORTANT: As long as an application is submitted within the Online Application Window, the date and time of the submission has no bearing on how the application is processed during the Lottery. For example, submitting an application the day the window opens will not result in a higher priority than an application received the last day of the window.

Duplicate Entries

Duplicate entries are removed prior to the Lottery Drawing process ensuring each student only has one application being considered during the drawing.

Submission Confirmation

Upon successful completion of the Online Application, applicants will receive an on-screen confirmation, as well as an email confirmation. Applicants will also be able to revisit their account Dashboard at any time to view submissions. If confirmation is not received, please check Spam/Junk folders or try to resubmit using a different browser or device. A successfully submitted application will show under “Submitted Forms” in the PowerSchool Dashboard. No further communication will be sent until a spot becomes available for an applicant.

Please Note: Online Applications remain valid only for the school year for which they were submitted. If an applicant is not drawn in the Lottery, or selected from the Waitlist, please remember to resubmit an Online Application for the following school year when it becomes available in the Fall.

LOTTERY DRAWING

Applicants are welcome to view the Virtual Lottery Drawing, though it is not required and will not influence the chance for enrollment.

If an online application is submitted within the Online Application Window shown above, a direct link to the Virtual Lottery Drawing will be provided via email at least one day prior to the drawing. Please be sure to check Spam/Junk folders if unable to locate in the main inbox. Communication will be sent from the PowerSchool system.

During the Lottery process, all applications submitted during the Open Application Window will be included in the drawing. After capacity is reached, the Waitlist formed for each grade will be used to enroll any seats that come available moving forward.
