We recently received an update on our son's status with TCA's wait list. The Classical Academy (TCA) is a charter school located in Academy School District 20. ALL students apply to be on the wait list.

This email letter offers from great insight into their process and how they enroll students for the coming school year. They indicate here how many spots normally open up per grades.

Although months away, our TCA Registrar’s office is already planning for our 2012 fall enrollment at The Classical Academy.  We want to personally invite you to a special TCA Prospective Family Informational Meeting on November 29th at 7:00 pm, since your family has been on our waiting list for some time. According to our records, your child, ****** Mitchell, [I blocked this out for our privacy] is number 243 on the Kindergarten waitlist. We annually enroll 272 Kindergarteners, and frequently go through most of the waiting list to fill every Kindergarten seat. Each year, we also have openings for approximately 6 to 8 students in 1st and 2nd grade; 10 to 20 openings in 3rd and 4th grades; and 4 to 6 openings in 5th and 6th grades.  No matter your placement on the list, I encourage you to attend this important meeting to learn more about our extraordinary school.

As a charter school, TCA is a unique learning community.  Our mission is to partner with your family in the education of your children.  Before you make this important decision, we want you to be fully aware of the expectations and commitments that are woven into the fabric of a TCA education. While there are special demands on TCA families and students, there are overwhelming "life" rewards for a TCA education.  Plan now to attend this important time to meet our leaders, have your questions answered, and learn more about the following topics.

• The TCA Approach to Learning--our philosophy and curriculum
• Our Core Values and how they apply to life at TCA—relationships, discipline, behavioral standards, etc.
• Our vision for our learning community--our students, families, and faculty
• The understanding and commitment needed to thrive at TCA

We look forward to welcoming you into the life of this wonderful school!

Sincerely,

Kara McIntyre

TCA Registrar
