The Orcutt Academy Charter School will begin taking enrollment applications for the 2025-2026 school year on Monday, November 4, 2024. The enrollment lottery for 2025-2026 will take place virtually on Wednesday, February 5, 2025. The deadline for enrollment applications to be included in the lottery is Wednesday, January 29, 2025.

We request that families interested in the Orcutt Academy attend one of our three virtual information nights. At these events, school staff present information on school programs and the enrollment and admissions process. Additionally, we have scheduled campus tours of Orcutt Academy High School and the Orcutt Academy K-8 campus for prospective families. 

The full listing of Information nights and Campus Tours includes Zoom meeting links and the Enrollment Lottery Zoom link.

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.
