Enrollment

Each year ANSER has a limited number of openings for new students. State law requires us to first offer available slots to current ANSER students and siblings of current students. Additional openings are filled using a random lottery. We hold an annual lottery where names are randomly drawn, then placed in order on a waiting list.

ANSER’s annual lottery is held on the third Thursday of February at 1:00 PM and is for students entering kindergarten through 8th grade. Applications for the lottery will be accepted from January 1st of each year until 24 hours prior to the lottery. Offers of enrollment for the next school year will be made following the lottery.

We have up to 18 openings for kindergarten students each year, depending on the number of siblings eligible for placement. To be eligible, students must turn five (5) by September 1st of the year they want to enroll. ANSER does not accept enrollment applications from children younger than kindergarten age.

The waiting list does not carry over from year to year, and a new form must be completed each year for a child to be included in the waiting list lottery.

Please use one form for each child. Mail, fax or hand-deliver applications to ANSER Charter School, 202 E. 42nd Street, Garden City, ID 83714, or fax (208) 426-9863. Applications submitted via email will not be accepted.
