Rollover
*For the 2026/27 school year, Great Hearts Academies will automatically rollover all eligible waitlisted applications to the next school year. Parents/guardians do not need to opt in during the rollover period.
Your student qualifies for Rollover if:
• The waitlisted application was submitted before September 2nd, 2025.
• The waitlisted application is not for an exit grade (Archway 5th grade)
• Great Hearts Anthem, Great Hearts Roosevelt, Great Hearts Online, and Maryvale Prep are eligible to rollover a 5th grade waitlisted application
If a student is not offered a position for the current school year, Great Hearts will automatically rollover the application to the following year if the application is eligible. These rollover applications will be ahead of new, incoming, non-prioritized applications. If families choose not to rollover, they can cancel the application in the enrollment portal.
Waitlisted applications eligible for Rollover must be submitted on or before September 1st of the current school year.
Reminder:
• Waitlisted applications cannot be rolled over from one academy to another.
• Waitlisted applications cannot be rolled over into the same grade.
• If your student receives an enrollment offer at any time during this school year, the rollover application for that academy will not be eligible for the waitlist next year. Parents will need to reapply to be on the 2026-27 waitlist.
Open Enrollment
Open Enrollment is when families complete a new online application to selected school/s that they are not currently attending and would like to receive an offer of enrollment. Once the Open Enrollment period is completed, all applications submitted will be included in the Great Hearts Lottery.
Lottery
Any application submitted during the open enrollment period is eligible for a lottery. When academies receive more applications then there are seats available, an academy/grade independent lottery is held to determine the waitlist order. The lottery assigns a random number to each application and then the applications are ordered on the waitlist based on the lottery number, application type, and priority status.
Offers and Registration
After the Lottery, each Great Hearts academy will extend offers to families according to their number on the waitlist and fill any available seats for the next school year. Offers are sent in writing and families are given a deadline to accept their offer and complete registration.
Students who are in exit grades at an academy do not fill out re-enrollment paperwork, but will need to fill out a new enrollment application to attend another Great Hearts Academy.
