How to apply
Mater International Preparatory is a tuition-free public charter school in the Mater Academy network, so there is no attendance zone: families apply through the school’s website. Mater Academy’s posted enrollment and lottery policy (PDF), which it says applies to all Mater Academy schools, sets a registration and lottery date each year. Current students who return an Intent to Return form, siblings of enrolled students, children of the school’s teachers and some other groups are admitted without the lottery. If applicants outnumber seats in a grade, the rest are drawn at random, and the remaining numbers become the waiting list, which the school works through as seats open during the year.
