Admissions and Open Houses
Thank you to all parents interested in our school. We fill all available seats, so you are welcome to submit an application at any time during the school year.
ADMISSIONS
Admission applications are accepted year-round. Applications are accepted for all grades on a rolling basis, using the online NYC Charter School Common Application platform, where you can choose either our Jackson Heights or Elmhurst school. If a spot opens up mid-year, a mini-lottery is held. Students remain on the waitlist for one year.
Spanish translation is usually available at all of our open houses. If you require translation into another language, please send an email request to carolinacaicedo@rencharter.org and we will try to make that possible.
For instructions on how to apply to Renaissance, please see this article.
