Admission and Enrollment

Why Watershed?

If you know your child(ren) would benefit from more time spent outdoors, more time learning by doing, and smaller classes, Watershed is for you! WPCS creates an environment in which parents are partners, teachers are allowed to innovate, and students are provided the structure and flexibility they need to learn.  

Application

The application for admission to Watershed is open to any county resident and students are selected via a lottery system. Currently, Watershed Public Charter School serves students in grades K-8.



The application for admission to Watershed is open to any county resident and students are selected via a lottery system. Currently, Watershed Public Charter School serves students in grades K-8. The lottery application is open October through mid -January for the following school year.

If you have another student who does not currently attend Watershed but would like to, please apply for that student.
