Enrollment / Lottery Information

The Lottery Drawing for the 2026-2027 School Year has opened. 

• Enrollment is open to incoming kindergarten-8th grade students for the 2026-2027 school year.

  • Kindergarten students must be 5 years old on September 1st, 2025 in order to be eligible for kindergarten enrollment.

• A parent/guardian from each household MUST attend one Enrollment Orientation Meeting in order to be eligible for the admission lottery. These orientation meetings will further explain Discovery Peak’s learning structure and philosophy, review the expectations of both students and parents, and go over basic logistics of our school. Our goal through these orientation meetings is for parents/guardians to feel comfortable, confident, and well-informed about Discovery Peak prior to enrolling their child.

  • If a student is not currently enrolled but has once attended Discovery Peak, you need to attend an orientation to apply for the following school year.

  • ORIENTATIONS are held at Discovery Peak Charter School and are scheduled for the following dates and times:  
    • Wednesday, February 4 at 6pm
    • Tuesday, March 3 at 6pm
    • Wednesday, April 1 at 6pm

• As a charter school in the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District, Discovery Peak Charter School is a school of choice with limited enrollment and unique policies. Please be aware of the 20 hours/family/year volunteering expectation as well as the attendance expectation - limited to 10 days/semester.

• Students may be added to the waitlist after the drawing. Apply to the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District’s Online Lottery Application Portal via the Student Information Systems Centralized Application Portal (CAP)
