Application for Magnolia Montessori Academy (K - 8) Enrollment 2027-28 School Year

You are about to begin the online application for a student to be considered for Magnolia Montessori Academy (MMA), a public charter school of choice. Each application is for one student only. If you want to apply for more than one student, an application for each additional student must be completed. Our waiting pool for Grades K-8 is renewed every year, and a new lottery is held for available spots for the upcoming school year. Current applications are valid for the 2027-28 school year and will expire at the end of that school year.

Charter schools are open to all of Polk County.

If you are completing applications for more than one of your children, there is no guarantee that all siblings will be able to attend the school, although siblings will receive preference if one is admitted.

Enrollments are established by grade level and physical space. It is your responsibility to advise us if you have a change of address and/or phone number. Exceptional student education students are subject to an IEP review prior to enrollment.

If you accept enrollment to Magnolia Montessori Academy, your child will NOT be removed from any other magnet or choice schools waiting lists. Students entering kindergarten must be five (5)-years-old on or before September 1st of the year enrolling.
