I am applying to have my child attend Empowerment Academy Charter School in Jersey City, NJ. I certify that the statements and information I am providing in this application are true, accurate, and complete.

I understand that Empowerment Academy features a longer school day, a strong discipline code, uniforms, and parent involvement.

I understand that prospective students are chosen by a lottery if there are more applications than available seats. I also understand that if my child is not initially selected in the lottery, s/he will be placed on a waiting list for the year. If spots open up during that year, students will be admitted from the waiting list in the order in which they were selected during the lottery. I hereby request that you consider this application for the next and any subsequent lotteries that are used to fill possible Empowerment Academy openings for the 2024-25 school year.
