Salt Lake Center for Science Education

Thank you for your interest in the Salt Lake Center for Science Education. Our Application window is now open!

Applicants for the Salt Lake Center for Science Education 2026-2027 school year must fill out an application form, available online or in hard copy starting November 15th, 2025. Applications are due by February 6th, 2026. Applications may be sent electronically, via mail, or hand delivered.  An application will not be considered complete until such notice has been received. In the event that the school does not meet enrollment goals the period for accepting applications may be extended.

After February 6th, we will conduct a lottery to select students to fill available spaces in 9th through 12th grades. Letters will be sent to all applicants by March 20th letting them know the results. Families of the students who are admitted through the lottery will need to respond with their acceptance letter by April 13th, 2026. Students not admitted at this time may elect to remain in the pool for spots that may become open at a later date. Students applying for grades 10, 11 and 12 will need to submit a copy of their current transcript to be reviewed to determine if our course offerings will meet their individual needs. 

Students that are enrolled in SLCSE will be automatically enrolled for subsequent years unless written notification is received by the school indicating their desire to withdraw.

• All eligible students who submit a timely application will be admitted, unless the number of applications exceeds the capacity of the specific grade level.
• If the number of applications exceeds the capacity of the specific grade level, then students shall be selected, by lottery, on a random basis except that the school will give preference to:

1. siblings of students already admitted to or attending the school;
2. a student of an SLCSE teacher or founder

Thank you for your interest in the Salt Lake Center for Science Education. The application period for the 2026-2027 school year will be open from November 15th, 2025 to February 6th, 2026. If you are still interested in applying after these dates you can fill out the application but it will be considered late. If spaces become available and if we get to the late applicants, we will communicate with you via phone to inform you of an opening. If you have further questions about our application process, please call the main office.
