Admissions Policies and Lottery Procedures

All students eligible for enrollment in New Hampshire public schools are eligible for enrollment at Mountain Village Charter School. Applications will be available online beginning February 1. Open enrollment runs from February 1- February 28. If you are unable to complete an online application, please e mail Alfie at admin@mountainvillagecharterschool.org

When open enrollment closes, we will determine whether there are enough available slots for all of the prospective students. If the number of prospective students exceeds the number of available spaces, we will hold a lottery (see below).

Lottery Process

  1. Open enrollment runs from February 1 - March 7. Families submit lottery applications online during this period.

  2. In mid March, all prospective students are entered into a computer program that randomly selects the available number of student spots. The lottery occurs at the school and is open to the public. Lottery selection date is Friday, March 21, 2025 at 10:00am in the “Burrow” at Upper Elementary at MVCS (near Granite Forged Fitness). Here is the link info….

  3. Families will be informed within 5 business days, by phone, of a student's acceptance or waitlist status.

Enrollment priority

All chartered public schools shall accept qualified pupils from any school district. A pupil who meets the admission requirements of a chartered public school, and who is a resident of the district where the school is located, shall be given absolute admission preference over a nonresident pupil. Once admitted and unless expelled, chartered public school pupils need not reapply for admission for subsequent years.

At MVCS, priority is given to the following groups:

  • Children of full-time MVCS employees

  • Siblings of currently enrolled students

For more information about NH charter school policy, visit 194-B:2 Chartered Public Schools; Establishment; Parental Choice; Admission. 

Enrollment assessment

There is no standard assessment for any incoming students; however, families should talk with the administration about any concerns they might have to ensure MVCS is a good fit for your child. All enrolled first graders are assessed using the WRAT (Wide Range Assessment Test).

Acceptance of enrollment

If your child is accepted into MVCS, we ask that you let us know as soon as possible if he / she will attend out of courtesy to families on the waitlist.


2025-2026 School Year Enrollment

During the academic year, MVCS enrollment is open on a rolling basis, until all spaces are filled. If all spaces are filled, your student will be added to our waitlist in the order that your form is received. We will contact you if and when we have a space available for enrollment.

For enrollment in our 2025/2026 year, the Open Enrollment for the Lottery runs February 1- February 28. Please complete the form below and we’ll contact you.

  • The school is accepting lottery applications for students entering 1st through 8th grades.

  • Children must be at least six years old by September 30 and reside in NH to enroll.
