Open Enrollment runs from October 1, 2024 through January 15, 2025.

Interested families need to submit an Intent to Enroll form for each student by January 15, 2025. Intent to Enroll forms can be accessed online at wonderfulcollegeprep.org, or the front desk of each of our schools. Intent to Enroll forms may be: Submitted through SchoolMint Dropped off at the School's front desk

A public virtual lottery via Zoom will take place if we have more Intent to Enroll forms than seats in a specific grade. Public lottery dates are February 5, 2025. Parents will receive a Zoom link 2 weeks prior to the event followed by a few reminders from SchoolMint. WCPA Lost Hills Campus Grades: TK-12 WCPA Delano Campus Grades: TK-12

WCPA will identify the grade levels for which a lottery will be required. For the grade levels where we have more applicants than seats, WCPA will identify students that meet the enrollment priorities outlined in our charter. WCPA will notify the families of interested students two weeks before the lottery by SchoolMint.

The order of priority is as follows: Siblings of currently enrolled WCPA students Children of WCPA full-time employees Children of the Wonderful Company and its affiliates’ employees and children of organizations engaged in similar agricultural operations District residents (Delano or Lost Hills, depending on which school you are applying for) All other applications Contact school office at (661) 721-2887 for Delano or (661) 797-2220 for Lost Hills if any priority preference information changes prior to January 15, 2025.

Once the maximum capacity has been reached for each grade, the remaining student names (or assigned numbers) will be drawn and then placed on a waiting list in the order in which they are drawn. Students on the waiting list will then be notified by SchooMint immediately if a space becomes available.

If the grade level you are applying for is at maximum capacity, your student will be added to a waitlist based on priority for the 2025 - 2026 school year. If and when a space becomes available, you will be notified by mail regarding your student’s admission.

You will receive notification shortly after the lottery if your child(ren) have been admitted to Wonderful College Prep Academy. That communication will include information about when and where you can pick up your enrollment packet and what needs to be turned in for each student. Once notified, you will have two (2) weeks to submit your enrollment packet. If the complete enrollment packet is not submitted within two (2) weeks the student’s spot will be forfeited and given to the first student on the waitlist.

Families who are on the waitlist and not accepted throughout the school year must reapply each year during the open enrollment period. Please contact the school office the following school year to determine when that window will be.
