- Applicants are assigned numbers on their applications for identification in the lottery.

Waiting List Information
VACSE maintains a waiting list for all grades based on the lottery’s outcome, and waiting lists renew after each lottery every year. Applicants must re-apply annually to be assigned a spot on the waiting list (applications do NOT carry over).
When a scholar is selected through the lottery, the parent/guardian will receive an email or notification with specific paperwork requirements by an assigned deadline. If your child is on our waiting list, please be patient, as available spots are determined later in the summer.
All applications received after the initial enrollment period will be accepted on a “first-come, first-served” basis after the waiting list has been exhausted.
Registration Process
All applicants offered a seat must respond within five days and submit the required paperwork within 14 days. VACSE will retract offers if not accepted affirmatively in writing and if paperwork is not completed/submitted within the given timeframe.
Required documentation for registration includes:
- Completed enrollment packet
- Parent I.D.
- Proof of student age
- Two forms of proof of residency
