How to Apply to a Choice School
Please follow these instructions very carefully. SAMPLE SAMPLE
A Special Transfer Option application is used to apply for the following types of Choice programs: (1) non-magnet middle school
Choice programs; (2) non-magnet high school Career Academy programs; and (3) other non-magnet high school Choice programs.
A Special Transfer Option application is also used for transfers to elementary schools that have openings and for other non-
Choice program transfers to middle and high schools. Admission is determined by a lottery system which is based on the number
of applications versus available openings. NOTE: A Special Transfer Option application is NOT used to apply for High School
Acceleration Programs – AICE, IB, Early College, AP Honors. Applications for these programs are available at each school and
are submitted directly to the School. Students accepted into a High School Acceleration Program from outside the attendance
