The Orcutt Academy is seeking a renewal of its charter through June 30, 2032.  State law regarding charter renewal indicates that two Governing Board public hearings are required for charter renewal.  Please visit the About Us page for more information.

The enrollment lottery for 2025-2026 for Orcutt Academy High School and the Academy's K-8 campus in Los Alamos was held on February 5, 2025. A post-lottery drawing for all post-lottery enrollment applications received through May 6, 2025, will be held on May 7, 2025. The post-lottery drawing will fill any available seats and order grade-level wait lists beyond those established by the February 5 lottery. We invite interested families to submit post-lottery applications.

Short Term Independent Study

Independent Study/Pre Approved Absences should be requested prior to a planned absence period if your student will be gone between 3 and 14 school days. Independent Study/Pre Approved Absences are granted at the discretion of the Vice Principal for students with good citizenship and in good academic standing (above a 2.0 GPA with no “F”s).

Parents/guardians must request Independent Study/Pre Approved Absences no less than five school days in advance of a planned absence period. Students returning from Independent Study/Pre Approved Absences must report to the attendance office upon return, and all work must be completed and turned at that time.
