An application is required to gain admission into these schools/programs. All students inside and outside SAISD can apply to a Choice School or Magnet Program, regardless of their academic abilities or where they live.

Families can still submit an application for the 2025-26 school year and be added to the existing waitlist!

Offers from waitlists are made on Tuesdays and Fridays, even after the new school year begins.
