Preregistration
Three simple steps:
1
The first step is getting the information you need to decide whether Seven Oaks is a good fit for your student. Charter schools are schools of choice. Seven Oaks offers an academically rigorous curriculum in a small-school setting. The Seven Oaks website is a great way to find out more about the school. Click here for information about visiting campus, including scheduling a school tour with the Head of School. If you decide to enroll, go on to step 2.
2
Enrollment begins with preregistration. Preregistration is simply a request for a seat in a particular grade. As a public charter school, enrollment is open. The school does not pick and choose who to admit. Instead, it accepts everyone who wants to attend, regardless of prior academic achievement, subject only to availability of open seats, following the process described below. Families just need to reside in the state of Indiana and live within driving distance of the school.
3
When the Initial Preregistration Period ends, the school will begin offering seats to those who have preregistered. When parents have been offered a seat, they will be able to log into their parent account in the school’s online enrollment portal and begin completing a checklist of registration forms. These forms give the school all the information that it needs to prepare the student’s file and place the student in a classroom.
Admissions Overview for New Students
Beginning on January 5, 2026, new families may preregister new students, grades K-12, for the 2025-2027 school year.
Additional Details
Each year, the school begins accepting preregistrations at the start of the Initial Preregistration Period. Everyone who preregisters in this window will receive equal consideration—regardless of whether you preregister on the first day of the window or the last. This year, that window runs from January 5, 2026, through March 2, 2026.
At the end of the Initial Preregistration Period, the school will begin offering students seats. In grades where there are more students who preregister than seats available, the school will hold a public lottery to decide the order of admissions. In grades where a lottery is not needed, every new student who preregisters will be invited to complete the registration process. Anyone who is not offered a seat will be placed on a waitlist based on the order established by the lottery. This year the public lottery is scheduled for March 4, 2026.
NOTE: After the Initial Preregistration Period ends, the school will continue accepting preregistrations on a first-come, first-serve basis. These will be placed after those who preregistered during the initial preregistration period.
Special Cases
Early Kindergarten Admissions Policy
Under Indiana law, students residing in Indiana must be at least 5 years of age on or before August 1 of the academic year in which they enroll in order to be automatically eligible for kindergarten. However, the law also allows schools to establish a policy for permitting exceptions. Seven Oaks will evaluate students who turn five (5) between August 2 and December 31 for kindergarten readiness. Students who turn five (5) after December 31 must wait until the following academic year to enroll.
Admissions Preferences
Siblings of current students and children of faculty and staff receive admissions preference status.
Returning Students
Enrolled students who indicate their intent to re-enroll are guaranteed a seat for the next academic year. The Re-Enrollment Period for the 2026-2027 school year runs from Monday, January 5, 2026, to Monday, February 23, 2026.
Withdrawal and Re-Enrollment
Students may withdraw from Seven Oaks Classical School at any time during the school year. However, students who withdraw and then re-enroll must register as though they were a new student.
