Ceiba Application Process
Lottery:
Date: TBD
Ceiba uses a Lottery system to determine who will be attending Ceiba. You do not have to be present on the day of the lottery in order to secure a spot. You will be notified by mail if your child’s number is chosen.
Admissions Preference:
Siblings are eligible for admission through sibling preference, which means that if one child is currently enrolled, their siblings are also admitted to the school when space is available. For 6th grade, Ceiba College Prep will guarantee admission to siblings of children already attending Ceiba College Prep. For grades 7-12, siblings of current students will be given priority and admitted if space is available. “Sibling” is defined as a brother, sister, or other children legally under your care and residing in the same household.
