Please contact the Enrollment Coordinator to receive our recorded meeting for applying for the 22-23 school year and/or questions. A live Parent Information Meeting will be scheduled in late Spring.

Our Parent Information Meetings currently are online through Zoom and include a walk through the grades and kindergarten, question and answer session, and an overview of the enrollment process.

You may RSVP by clicking on the ticket button below for the date you would like to attend. For enrollment questions contact by calling 916-597-1033 or email enrollment@goldenvalleycharter.org
Applications will be made available at the end of the meeting and must be completed during open enrollment in January and February.
Applicants are then entered into a lottery for a public random drawing. Parents will be notified via email, and have 48 hours to respond.
Once the sapce is accepted, a preregistration packet will be emailed for parents to complete.
We have two locations to serve students and families. You must attend a PIM (Parent Information Meeting) at the school where you are interested in having your child attend. Please note: our Outdoor Kindergarten and Grades Hybrid Home Study Programs are only available at the Golden Valley River School and the Ladybug Afternoon Kindergarten Hybrid is at the Orchard School. If you are interested in this option, please attend a PIM at the River School.
