Admission Requirements

• Paragon  Science Academy will admit all students, on a space-available basis, will not charge tuition and will not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, creed, sex, ethnicity, sexual orientation, mental or physical disability, age, ancestry, or athletic performance.
• Parents/guardians will be encouraged to either attend Paragon Science Academy info sessions or meet with a designated Paragon Science Academy member before admission to learn about the school mission, teaching philosophy, and how parents can contribute to the school. In these meetings and info sessions, our staff will explain the expectations from the parents at home to enable their students to comply with the school schedule and homework requirements as well as how parents will participate in the activities of Parent Advisory Council that operate the school.
• Paragon Science Academy will hold a public lottery to select the students to be admitted. In the lottery, all names are drawn and listed in order separately for each grade level. Any sibling of the student automatically gains the privilege to be admitted with him/her. Admission of the sibling(s) is due to availability of space in the respective grade. Once the school capacity is exceeded, the remaining students are listed in the waiting list. The students who do not apply in the regular lottery period are added to the end of the waiting list in the order they applied. The vacancies after the first enrollment period are filled with the students in the waiting list in the second enrollment period. In the following years, the siblings of the students have the privilege of admission before the lottery. For the remaining vacancies a lottery will be held. Above principles also hold for this lottery.
  

Notifications of Admission

• Notifications of admission status will be mailed to all applicants.

• If the enrollment forms are not returned completely within two weeks, then admission for that student is forfeited, and an admission notice will be mailed to the next student on the waiting list.

Waiting List Notification

• Students on the waiting list will be notified by mail immediately if space becomes available and they should return the enrollment forms. If the enrollment forms are not returned on time, then admission for that student is forfeited, and an admission notice will be mailed to the next student on the waiting list.
