Become A Student

New Roots Charter School is now accepting enrollment forms from students who will be in 9th or 10th grade in the 2009-2010 school year.

Students who are interested in a challenging, project-oriented, college preparatory high school program are encouraged to enroll.

New Roots is designed to support the success and wellbeing of all students, so students
who have not felt as successful or as challenged as they'd like in other school settings can
feel confident that they will receive the support they need to be successful in our
program. We encourage students who receive special education services and/or those
who speak English as a second language to enroll.

To enroll at New Roots Charter School:

  1. Call us at 339-6994 or email us at admissions@newrootsschool.org to sign up for a
    Parent and Teen Information Session. There will be several information sessions
    Come with your questions!
  2. Print and complete the enrollment form found below, and bring it to the information session or return it to the New Roots Charter School office. Hard copies will also be available at information sessions and at our office, or we will mail you a copy if you call or email us.
  3. Once we receive your enrollment form, we will give you a Welcome Packet containing information about other paperwork we need from you.
  4. If you have questions that are not answered at the Information Session, you may schedule an appointment to speak with a school administrator.
