ADMISSIONS LOTTERY
The admissions lottery for the 2013-2014 school year will be held March 9, 2013 at 12:00PM in the High School Gym.
Due to the large number of applications Voyager Academy receives each year, we use a computer program to randomly assign a number to each applicant at the lottery. The number assigned by the program will determine a students’ acceptance or waitlist position.

CURRENT STUDENTS
Current Voyager Academy students do not need to re-apply for admission, but they are required to submit a commitment letter for the upcoming school year. This commitment letter is due January 25, 2013 in order to determine any additional openings for the lottery. This form will be available online and sent home to every Voyager Academy family.

ADMISSION PROCEDURES
All applicants may apply online or parents may visit any of the Voyager Academy Charter Schools to complete a paper application.
All students must apply for the grade they will enter for the 2013-2014 school year. Students may only submit one application for admission.
Students must apply by midnight February 28, 2013 to be considered for the lottery. If a student applies after this date, the student will be eligible for any spots remaining after the lottery or they will be placed on the waiting list.
IMPORTANT REMINDERS
- If there are fewer applicants than slots available, all applicants will be admitted. Accepted families who enroll in Voyager Academy, parents and students, must read and agree to follow the Voyager Academy policies and procedures.
- Students attending Voyager Academy may live in any county in North Carolina and must reside in North Carolina at the time of application.
- Voyager Academy does not provide transportation to and from school.
- Siblings of current Voyager Academy students and children of current Voyager Academy staff members are admitted before the lottery to any open spots for the grade in which that student is applying. If there are more siblings applying than spots available there will be a lottery held among siblings of Voyager students.
- Students who are twins, triplets, etc. must each complete an application. However, only one application will be entered in the lottery for those students. If that application is accepted, the sibling's twin or triplet, etc. will also be admitted.
- Voyager Academy will send a confirmation to each student chosen through the lottery. This confirmation letter must be completed, signed and returned to the school by March 22, 2013. This will be used to confirm your commitment to Voyager and release your student’s records from their current school. Failure to return your confirmation by the deadline will nullify your student's acceptance.
- Students not admitted through the lottery will be placed on a waitlist. Students will be kept on the waitlist until the next application process begins for the next school year. If a spot becomes available we will contact students in order of their waitlist number.
- If a student does not get a space through the lottery/waiting list process, that student must re-apply to be considered the following year. However, current students do not have to re-apply year-to-year.
