  • Submit an Intent to Enroll Form
    To express your interest in joining our school, we ask that you complete the Intent to Enroll Form for the upcoming school year.  The form can be submitted by printing, completing, and returning it to the school either in person or via email at [email protected]. Forms must be received by January 3, 2025, in order to be included in the January 6th Lottery.
    Please note that Aspen Ridge Preparatory School is now participating in the Universal PreK Program as designed through the state of Colorado.  If you are interested in your child participating in UPK, please visit our Preschool Program page to learn more.

  • Lottery Overview
    The lottery will be held annually to determine student enrollment for the upcoming academic year. The lottery is conducted in a fair and transparent manner, ensuring equal opportunity for all applicants.

  • Lottery Procedures
    • All completed Intent to Enroll forms are due at least one business day prior to the lottery and will be entered into the lottery pool.
    • Applications will be processed and randomly drawn for grade levels that have openings for the following year.
    • The lottery will be conducted in a way that ensures transparency and fairness.
    • Students will be drawn in order of enrollment preference.
    • Any student not initially selected through the lottery will be placed on a waitlist, in order of selection, and will be contacted if space becomes available.

  • Lottery Preferences
    Lottery enrollments are processed in the following priority order:
    • Children of a charter school’s founders, teachers, and staff (up to 5% of the total school’s enrollment or as space allows)
    • Siblings of students already admitted to or attending Aspen Ridge
    • Children within district boundaries
    • Children out of district boundaries

  • Lottery Acceptance or Wait List
    The Lottery for the 2025-2026 school year was held on January 6, 2025. The registrar has notified all parents of the results of the Lottery. Those who did not receive a placement offer were notified of their place on the waitlist. For grades without a waitlist after the Lottery, students are accepted on a first come, first serve basis if there is still room in the grade level. The Lottery for the 2026-27 school year will take place on Monday, January 5, 2026.
    Notifications of lottery results will be sent to applicants within 1-4 business days following the lottery. 

  • Confirm Your Enrollment
    Once receiving a placement offer, families will have 48 hours to confirm their intent to enroll with a non-refundable materials deposit.  After 48 hours, the next family on the waitlist will be contacted and offered the spot. A link with directions for the online application process will be emailed to you. This process must be completed within the given time frame in order to hold your child's position and confirm enrollment.

    Your child's enrollment will be confirmed once Aspen Ridge conducts a Safe Schools Check and the school conducts a student records review to consider the school's capacity to meet the requirements of a student's individual learning plan (e.g. 504, ALPs, EPLs, IEPs, etc.).

  • Pay Applicable Fees
    Fees include PreK/Preschool Registration Fee of $50 and Annual Supply Fee of $100.  Pay your PreK/Preschool registration fee online here.
