Welcome Prospective Parents and Guardians:

Lafayette Preparatory Academy is pleased to consider your child for enrollment. To review the full enrollment process and requirements, please review the information on our website- https://lafayetteprep.org/admissions/enrollment-process-at-lpa/.

Our mission is to be a community that prepares students for academic and collegiate success and equip them to enter the world as active, responsible, and involved citizens and leaders. We will partner with each student’s family as we work towards the emotional, social, and academic development necessary to realize the vision of our students becoming leaders of change and progress.

In October 2022, student enrollment begins for 2023 - 2024. Interested families will complete a virtual or in-person tour and complete the Lottery Application, either through paper or Google form.

LPA’s Enrollment Periods:
● First Enrollment Period: October 1st – 2nd Thursday of March
● Second Enrollment Period: Day after 2nd Thursday in March – June 1st
● Third Enrollment Period: June 2nd – September 30th

All documentation must be submitted by 6:00 p.m. on the last day of the pertinent enrollment period. All students ¹ submitting complete Lottery applications by this deadline will be admitted into the school at that time, if maximum capacity has not been reached. A lottery will be held if necessary on the following Tuesday. In the event of a lottery, accepted students will be notified via the primary email provided in the Lottery Application within 3 business days. If your student is offered a spot, you will have 10 business days (first enrollment period) or 3 business days (second or third enrollment period) to complete the Enrollment Packet to secure their spot for the upcoming school year.

Students who are not selected for enrollment through the lottery process will then be placed on a waiting list, in a number order determined through the lottery process. When a seat (or seats) becomes available, LPA fills the seat for that grade level in the order of the waiting list. If offered a spot from the waitlist, you will be notified via the primary email provided in the Lottery Application and will have two business days to accept the spot and 3 days to complete the Enrollment Packet. We will repeat this process as additional seats become available.

Beyond June 1st, 2023, students will be admitted on a rolling basis for any open seats, until capacity for the grade has been reached or September 30, 2023, whichever comes first.

Please add “enroll@lafayetteprep.org” to your contacts so as not to miss any information from LPA.
