Enrolling at AMS Little Rock

How to complete an application and enroll for
the Academy of Math and Science Little Rock?

  • Complete an application

    This is a 2 step process, please check your email to complete step 2

  • Enrollment Lottery

    All eligible applications are entered into an annual random, blind lottery for available seats. The enrollment lottery takes place each Spring.

  • Availability

    Seats are offered first to those who qualify for a staff or sibling preference. Remaining available seats are then randomly selected.

  • Waitlist

    Applications that are not selected for a seat during the lottery are placed on a waitlist for the grade level based on their lottery number. If an application is submitted after the lottery occurs, the application is automatically added to the end of the current waiting list.

  • Email Offer

    When a seat is available, an email offer is sent to the parent/guardian. They must accept the seat within 1 week, or the offer will be withdrawn and the seat offered to the next student on the waitlist.

  • Registration

    After accepting the seat, the parent/guardian must complete the registration forms online and upload the required documents within 5 days of the initial offer.

Any student enrolling in Kindergarten must be five (5) years old before September 1 for
the school year they wish to start Kindergarten.

 

Students that turn five years old (5) on or after September 1 but before January 1 will be
considered “Early Kindergarten” applicants.

 

While AMS accepts early kindergarten applications, they will be considered for
enrollment on a case-by-case basis behind students who meet the minimum age
requirement. Early kindergarten applicants are generally not considered for enrollment
until the late spring or early summer prior to the start of the school year. Early
kindergarten applicants must satisfy readiness requirements identified through an
emotional, academic and/or readiness assessment before being accepted to a school.

This process ensures that early admission is in the best interest of the child. The AMS
Superintendent shall have sole discretion in determining whether to offer admission to
an early kindergarten applicant.
