2007-2008 Registration Information

Explore Knowledge Academy (EKA) is accepting registration applications as of March 24, 2007 for the 2007-2008 school year. EKA maintains a goal of keeping families together, whenever possible. Therefore, placement priority is given first to the currently enrolled students, then to siblings of enrolled students. If there are more siblings than openings we will go to a lottery system. After we have completed this process we will open the enrollment to the public by filling any openings on a first-come first-serve basis. Once we reach capacity, we will place all of our remaining students on a waiting list and will fill openings through a lottery. The lottery is done by assigning numbers to the registrations and then having the computer generate a random number. Once the numbers have been selected, the parents are contacted by the Enrollment Office to find out if they are still interested in attending EKA, if so, they are asked to come in and complete the registration.

When completing the enrollment process for your child, you will be required to provide and/or complete the following information:
