Enrollment @ Pomelo

If you live within our residential boundaries, simply enroll in the Pomelo Community Charter School before the school year begins, or anytime you're ready to attend.  If you don't live within our residential boundaries, you may still apply to our lottery by visiting CHOICES and selecting "Affiliated Charter Schools."  On-time applications will be accepted between Oct. 3- Nov. 18, 2022 for the 2023-2024 school year.  If you miss this application window, you can apply "late" starting on February 1st, 2023.  In 2021-2022, Pomelo CCS became a School for Advanced Studies due to our exemplary gifted and talented educational program!   Whether or not you live within our boundaries, you may also apply for our new Arts & Sciences Magnet program, currently in its 3rd  year of operation.  Read on for more info...
