ApplicationS for Enrollment

NOW ENROLLING – OPEN ENROLLMENT for 2025-26.  

We currently have openings in K and grades 3-9.  It’s never too late to start your child’s classical education.  Once enrolled, your scholar will have the opportunity to continue enrollment next year without being subject to the new scholar lottery.   

WELCOMING OUT-OF-STATE SCHOLARS.  Open positions are available to out-of-state scholars with a  tuition of $9,500 per year, the same amount that the State of New Hampshire provides for resident scholars.  Once an out-of-state scholar enrolls, he or she is able to continue enrollment year after year. 

For more information, please reach out to admission@seacoastclassical.org.

Accepting Applications for 2025-26 and 2026-27

Current Year (2025-26) Application Process

Seacoast Classical Academy is an open-enrollment public school chartered by the NH State Board of Education.  NH residents pay no tuition.  Non-resident tuition is $9,500.  

Enrollment is first-come, first-served for the current school year when space is available in a given grade level.  Applicants for grade levels with no space available will be added to that grade’s waitlist.

For those interested in 2026-27,  there are three steps to future year admission at Seacoast Classical Academy:

  • LOTTERY — If in any grade the number of timely, complete applications is greater that the number of available spaces, admission will be offered according to a blind lottery for that grade.  The 2026-27 Lottery will be held at the schoolhouse on Saturday, March 7, 2026.  Lottery details are below.
  • ENROLLMENT — The families of scholars offered admission must sign and return a commitment letter with all information required for enrollment by a due date specified in the offer letter.
The 2026-27 Application form is below.

2026-27 Application 

Lottery

If there are more timely complete applications for any grade than the number of available spaces, admission will be offered according to a blind lottery for that grade. The lottery will be held on a Saturday in early March.  Each timely applicant will have one entry in the respective grade lottery. Grade lotteries will be conducted in order from lowest to the highest grade. The following exemptions from each grade-lottery will apply on a space-available basis, and in the following order:

  1. NH-resident siblings of scholars who are currently enrolled;
  2. NH-resident siblings of scholars who applied for admission to a grade that is not subject to a lottery;
  3. NH-resident siblings of scholars offered admission in a lower grade, including by lottery draw;
  4. Up to 5 (first-come basis) NH-resident children of current employees of Seacoast Classical Academy;
  5. Up to 5 (first-come basis) NH-resident children of founders of Seacoast Classical Academy.

All NH-resident non-exempt applicants will be placed in an order by a blind grade-lottery. This order will be used to offer admission to the remaining places in the grade. The supernumerary applicants will be placed, in lottery order, in a grade waitlist. After NH-resident applicants have been either admitted or placed in a waitlist, non-resident applicants will be considered similarly. All applicants will receive written notice of their admission status.

Enrollment

Enrolled scholars will be offered continued enrollment, which can be reserved by returning a signed commitment letter by the application due date. Unenrolled scholars who wish to re-enroll must reapply for admission.

In order to enroll a scholar who has been offered admission, the family must return, by the date in the offer letter, a signed commitment letter with all information required for enrollment —including, among other information, a copy of a birth certificate, and proof of New Hampshire residency if claiming residency.  Informational and social events will support the transition of newly admitted scholars and families to the Academy.
