How the TCA Waitlist Works
Enrollment at The Classical Academy (TCA) charter school is open to all students, including those with disabilities. Information about disabilities will not be requested until after a student has been admitted and enrolled. For any questions regarding the admission and enrollment process, including for students with disabilities, please contact Kayla Harper, Registrar.
To add your child to the waitlist, please complete a Waitlist Application for each child for the desired enrollment year. TCA requires that incoming Kindergarteners and 1st graders in all programs be 5 and 6 years old, respectively, by June 1 of the year they begin Kindergarten or 1st grade. See Enrollment Year Timeline below for more information.
Waitlist Priority
We encourage parents to add their children to the waitlist as soon as possible. Enrollment is offered in waitlist order and follows the priority statuses outlined below. Within each category, Academy School District 20 (ASD20) students are given preference to fill vacancies before out-of-district students.
- Children of TCA Staff
- Legacy Status students (long-term students who are withdrawn and out of El Paso County for one year)
- Siblings of enrolled students in the list's program
- Currently enrolled students in a different TCA program
- Previously enrolled students
- Other new students
We are required to prioritize ASD20 students over out-of-district applicants. However, we warmly welcome applications from out-of-district families. If you move into the ASD20 region, please notify the Registrar’s Office, and your child will be granted ASD20 priority. This adjustment will move your child up the waitlist based on the original time and date of your application.
If you receive an offer of admission based on D20 residency but relocate out of the district before school starts, the offer will be rescinded. Your child's name will then return to the waitlist under out-of-district status, retaining the original time and date of application.
Guidelines
Please note the following:
-
Each child only needs to be added to each waitlist once (Traditional or Non-Traditional: College Pathways (CP)/Cottage School Program (CSP)).
-
You may only wait list your child for one year/grade level. Please note that the TCA Traditional Program does not enroll or re-enroll students at the 11th or 12th grades.
-
If enrollment is not offered, waitlist applicants will automatically roll forward to the next academic year’s waitlist for that program.
-
The Traditional Program and Non-Traditional Program (CP/CSP) waitlists are separate. If you would like your child to be on both lists, you must complete a Traditional Program waitlist application and a Non-Traditional waitlist application.
-
In general, enrollment offers are made through September 30 of the school year or until all seats are filled. Applications received after September 30 for the current academic year will automatically roll over to the next academic year. Please note: College Pathways 11th and 12th grade students wait list applications must be received by April 20th in order to be considered for the upcoming school year.
Waitlist Removal
Students will be removed from the waitlist if parents decline an enrollment offer after being notified of an opening. Students may also be removed if TCA is unable to contact parents due to outdated contact information or lack of response.
Email is our primary method of contacting families. Please ensure your contact information is up to date and notify us immediately of any changes.
To inquire about your child's status on the waitlist, please email Kayla Harper, Registrar, and include the student's full name, date of birth, and expected start year.
