How and when will I know if my child was accepted?

The Admission Lottery will be held on March 6th, 2019 at Conservatory Lab Charter School. Although applicants are welcome to attend the lottery, attendance is not a requirement for admission. If you do not wish to have your child’s name read or released in public lottery results, please email an “Opt-out” request to admissions@conservatorylab.org or mail it to “Admissions” at Conservatory Lab Charter School, 2120 Dorchester Avenue, Dorchester, MA 02124.

Each applicant is assigned a “lottery number” which is then entered into the system for the computerized lottery. A disinterested party initiates the computerized lottery and results are projected on the screen for each grade level and then posted. Notifications for lottery results will be posted on our website with your child’s application number and the lottery number received.

Applications will not be accepted via fax.

Tips for applying:

Fill out all information. Print neatly and clearly.
Verify that the child’s date of birth and grade is 100% correct.
Apply for the grade your child will be entering in September 2018.
Include working phone numbers only – please give us more than one working phone number.
Ensure the address is accurate. Include apartment numbers and 5-digit zip codes.
Inform us immediately if your address, phone number(s) or email address change.
Ensure that we have received your application. If you do not receive a confirmation of receipt of your application or lottery number call (617) 254-8904 to verify that your information is on record for our lottery.

What do I do if I have questions?

If you have any questions or if your contact information changes, please contact us by emailing  admissions@conservatorylab.org or calling (617) 254-8904.
