How admission works
New students apply through the school’s PowerSchool enrollment lottery system, according to its enrollment process page. Its enrollment FAQs say ACCEL receives more applications than it has seats, so once the enrollment period closes, remaining seats are filled by lottery; selected students are told to accept or decline, and students not selected go on a waitlist. The school’s website also lists an ACCEL Evening Academy program alongside the middle and high school.
