Apply Philly Charter Lottery Process Description
If more applications are received than there are seats available, the school will hold a randomized lottery to determine which applicants are offered a seat for enrollment. All applications submitted within the application window will be referred into the lottery, assuming an application is not a duplicate submission and is otherwise eligible to attend the school. The application window for enrollment for the following school year will open in September 20th 2024 and close in January 21st 2025.
In order to secure your guaranteed spot in Maritime Academy's 9th grade, current 8th grade cadets must complete the application process through Apply Philly Charter.
The lottery for the following school year will be conducted in February. Priority will be given to current 8th grade Maritime cadets, siblings of current Maritime cadets and current Maritime staff applicants. For more information please contact Ms. Donovan at Donovan.j@maritimecharter.org or (215) 535-4555 x3305. The lottery will be conducted by the school on the Apply Philly Charter system.
Upon application submission, each applicant is automatically assigned a random lottery number. When the lottery is run, it will take into account, first, the priority group an applicant falls into, and, second, the applicant’s random lottery number. Seats will first be offered to applicants who fall into the first priority group in order of lowest random lottery number to highest. The lottery will then offer seats to applicants in the second, third, etc. priority groups in order of random lottery number, until the number of available seats has been exhausted. Applicants who were not offered a seat through the lottery will be waitlisted in order of, first, their priority group, and, second, their random lottery number.
Applicants who were offered a seat through the lottery will be notified two days after the lottery via email through Apply Philly Charter on February 7th, 2025. Applicants will also be able to log-in to their Apply Philly Charter accounts on February 7th, 2025 to view their application results. Applicants who were offered a seat through the lottery will have February 21st,2025 to accept their seat offer on Apply Philly Charter by clicking “accept” in their Apply Philly Charter accounts. Applicants will then be required to submit enrollment paperwork to the school by February 21st,2025. Enrollment paperwork will not be collected through Apply Philly Charter.
