Syracuse Arts Academy (SAA) Open Enrollment (OE) period for the 2022-2023 school year will begin on Tuesday, January 4, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. through Tuesday, February 1, 2022. The first lottery will be held on Wednesday, February 2, 2022. Any openings that become available after February 2nd will be filled on an as-needed basis throughout the year using a computerized lottery process.

Families will be notified via e‐mail of their child’s acceptance into the school and through the computerized lottery program. Families selected will be notified of the next steps in the registration process and what timeline they will need to follow.

Please keep in mind if you are enrolled in the 2021-2022 school year and your child has not been selected, you will need to re‐enroll in the database for the 2022-2023 school year. They will not be “rolled over” to the next school year. Preferences for teachers, administrators, board members, or siblings of current students will be in accordance with our charter application and state and federal laws. Every effort will be made to accept all siblings within an individual family, but this may not be possible due to capacity on class sizes. 

Although students currently attending SAA will not be placed in a lottery each year, they will need to indicate their intent to return by registering for the 2022-2023 school year and complete an Annual Policies Acknowledgment. This information will be sent to parents in January 2022.

The school does not discriminate in its admission policies or practices on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, disability, or any other protected classification.
