Admissions
WELCOME
Thank you for your interest in becoming a part of our Dual Language Academy (DLAMP) community. We encourage you to gather as much information as possible about our school by visiting our website, attending our orientation meetings, and talking with current DLAMP families before choosing to apply and enroll your child. You can also call (831) 899-1100 with any questions you may have.
STUDENT LOTTERY
Once enrolled, DLAMP students receive guaranteed placement in subsequent years. Because the combination of continuing students and applicants exceeds capacity each year, we will fill available spaces through a public random drawing (i.e. lottery). We include all applications received during the published application window in the ensuing lottery without consideration for the order received. Each applicant included in the lottery receives placement in the school at the appropriate grade level or a numbered position on our waiting list for that grade level. We have one application window and lottery each year for TK, Kindergarten and 1st-8th grades. Applications are posted on our admissions page between January and March of each academic school year. We do not process applications received later than the published closing day.
You may contact our school office with any questions at (831) 899-1100
