Prospective families should submit an application for the incoming school year. It is free to apply to all CWC LA schools. Applications submitted during the Open Enrollment period will be sorted into our Lottery, usually run in February/March. Applications submitted after this period will still be considered, but are placed on the waitlist until seats become available.
CWC LA offers year-round applications for all grades where there is availability.
School Information Sessions and Tours
School tours and information sessions provide a glimpse into each school’s approach to our Learning Model, Community Commitment and much more.

2. Lottery
A random public lottery is held if the number of applications a school receives by the lottery application deadline exceeds the seats available.
Submitting an application does not guarantee enrollment. Attendance at the lottery drawing is optional and will not impact results. All families will be notified via the CWC Los Angeles enrollment system and email of lottery results, including if their application is accepted or placed on the waitlist. Visit our CWC school websites for lottery dates!
