Lottery

into grade-level-specific 'Lottery Priority Groups' as follows and are drawn in
order based on these groupings:
First
Priority: Board approved Founders
Second
Priority: Applicants that are children of full-time employees and/or siblings of students already attending Sage International School.
Third
Priority: Applicants that reside within the Boise School District Attendance Boundaries.
Fourth
Priority: Applicants that reside outside the Boise School District Attendance Boundaries.
When
are the Lottery results posted? The results will be posted on our website by
the end of day-Thursday, February 27th, 2020.
Offers
for Enrollment: All
students that secure placement during the lottery will receive an email from
Sage International School Registrar providing an ‘Offer for Enrollment’ (be
sure to check your spam/junk folder).
Offers of enrollment must be accepted within 48 hrs. If a response is not received within 48
hours, the student’s name will be moved to the bottom of the waiting list come
time. Students that do not secure
placement during the lottery will be placed on a waiting list and, if space
becomes available, will be contact at that time, via email.
Waiting
List: Each year, we make enrollment offers based
on the lottery. For each grade level where we are not able to offer every
applicant a spot at Sage International (demand exceeds capacity), we establish
a grade level wait list. If/as seats open, we make enrollment offers based on
the waitlist. You can always add your student to the waitlist throughout the
year (see link to left) and we make enrollment offers all year long if/as seats
open. If you were not offered a spot through the lottery, don't be discouraged;
make sure you are on the wait list and know that we make enrollment offers all
year - be patient!
Waiting lists do not carry
over from year-to-year and are replaced yearly from the results of the annual
enrollment lottery. If you missed the
2020-2021 enrollment lottery application period, an online waiting list
application for 2020-2021 will become available in April 2020 on our
website.

discriminate on the basis on race, color, religion, and national or ethnic
origin in its educational and admissions policies and affords to all students
