Enrollment Process
Cherokee Classical Academy (CCA) is a tuition-free public charter school open to all students residing in Cherokee, Cobb, Bartow, Fulton, Pickens, and Paulding Counties, and the cities of Marietta, Cartersville, and Atlanta. CCA will enroll students in grades K-6 for the 2025-2026 school year and add a grade each year until reaching K-12.
The enrollment application is closed to prepare for the lottery but will reopen at 8 a.m. on Wednesday, April 2. All applications submitted after April 1 will be added to the waitlist.
Lottery Details
To the extent that demand exceeds the number of available seats for any given grade, the administration will conduct a public, system-generated, grade-level lottery. Lottery results will be posted to each applicant’s online SchoolMint account on April 1, the day of the lottery.
In accordance with Cherokee Classical Academy’s charter and as permitted by OCGA § 20-2-206 6, Cherokee Classical Academy will grant enrollment preference to the children of board members and the children of full-time employees.
In accordance with O.C.G.A. 20-2-2066(a)(1)(A), and as required based on the terms of the charter agreement, CCA will employ a weighted lottery for economically disadvantaged students. To facilitate the weighted lottery, applicants will indicate their economically disadvantaged status on the application. Applicants who receive offers will be required to provide documentation of their economically disadvantaged status.
