Application Process

Applications for admission to Creative Minds must be submitted through My School DC. We give preference to children of staff members, siblings of Creative Minds students, and siblings of students who have been offered a space at our school.

The My School DC process is a random lottery, and there is no advantage to applying early. Read the Creative Minds policies for the My School DC lottery.
