Any new student who wants to attend an Envision School should apply. Students who currently attend do not need to apply, unless you would like to change to attend a different Envision school

To apply, visit www.envisionschools.org scroll down and select the school you are interested in attending. From the school's enrollment page, click “Apply Now” to be directed to the Oakland Enrolls application. You will need to create an Oakland Enrolls account or log in to an existing account to complete and submit your application. Be sure to provide a valid email address and phone number to receive important enrollment updates. You can log back into your account at any time to check your application status and manage your information.For assistance with the application process, please contact enrollment@envisionschools.org.

To complete your application online, you will need basic information about your student, such as their birth date, current school, and grade, as well as information about your family, such as address, phone number, and guardian's name. No documents or more detailed information will need to be provided at this step.

The open enrollment period for 2027-2028 is October 13, 2026 through February 12, 2027. Apply by February 12, 2027, to be considered for the lottery. Applications can still be submitted after February 12 but will not be considered for the lottery.

All applications received during our open enrollment period will be considered equally for the lottery. There is no advantage to submitting your application in October versus January; they will be considered the same. Applications submitted after the open enrollment deadline may be placed on a waiting list if we have received more applications than available seats. 

If you miss the deadline, you can still apply but your application may be placed on a waitlist after those who applied during the open enrollment period.
