Application Form

North Fond du Lac Charter High School is currently accepting applications for enrollment from prospective students until April 30. The school is committed to providing a high-quality education and a supportive learning environment to students from diverse backgrounds.

If the number of applications exceeds the available spots, the school will conduct a lottery on May 3 to determine enrollment and placement on a waitlist. This means that if more students apply than the school can accommodate, their admission will be determined by a random drawing rather than a first-come, first-served basis.

After April 30, all applicants who apply will be added to the bottom of the waitlist in the order in which they applied. This means that students who apply earlier have a better chance of being admitted if there are openings in the future.

If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Bartelt at: kbartelt@nfdlschools.org
