Important note:

Our lottery for 2023/24 has now closed, however, you can still add your name to the waitlist by creating a Lotterease account.
The lottery drawing was conducted on February 28, 2023 at 11:00am.
The GLOBE Academy is no longer accepting new students for the current 2022/23 school year.
Students interested in admission for 4th and 5th grade for the 2023-2024 school year must first take the STAMP 4Se (4-Skill elementary) assessment and meet language proficiency standards before applying. This ensures that your student has enough proficiency in the target language to be successful in our language immersion program. Below are the required scores for each grade level. Once Open Enrollment is closed, 4th and 5th grade applicants will be contacted directly should a space become available.
Students who would like to be considered for 2nd, 3rd,7th or 8th grades should enter the lottery during open enrollment. Applicants for these grade levels should have prior experience in one of our target languages.
Middle school proficiency levels can qualify students for Language I/II, II, III, or IV. *Students who do not already have high school credit for I and II entering into Language III in 7th grade or IV in 8th grade may only receive high school credit for the courses completed at GLOBE.
