Enrollment Process at PACT Charter School

PACT Charter School is a tuition-free public charter school open to all Minnesota residents. There is no fee to apply, but space is limited—most grades reach capacity each year. Here's how the process works:

Application Timeline

  • Apply by November 1 to be included in the Enrollment Lottery.
  • The Lottery takes place the first Monday in November following the deadline.
    Applications received after November 1 are added to the waiting list in the order they are received.
  • You must reapply each year if your student is not accepted.

Lottery and Waitlist Process

  • The lottery determines enrollment offers and creates a waitlist.
  • Enrollment offers are made based on availability, in the order drawn.
  • Families on the waitlist are contacted if space opens throughout the year.

Preference Status

Per Minnesota law, enrollment preference is given to:

  • Siblings of currently enrolled students, including biological, adopted, foster, or step-siblings.
  • Children of current PACT employees.

These students must still complete an application by the deadline to be eligible.

Enrollment Notifications

  • Within 30 days of the Enrollment Lottery, families will receive:
    • An email with waitlist information, or
    • An email and text message if offered a spot.
    • If offered a seat, you must respond within four calendar days.
  • If no response is received, the spot will be offered to the next student on the list.

PACT is not responsible for missed communications.

Enrollment Limits

  • Classroom capacity is reviewed annually by PACT’s administration.
  • Students are enrolled until the grade-level limit is reached.
  • Capacity numbers are subject to change. View current enrollment limits.
