Enrollment

La Academia works to partner with many organizations to provide as many opportunities as possible for our scholars. Below you’ll find instructions to apply!

La Academia Partnership Charter School (LAPCS), the only tuition-free charter school in Lancaster County, offers scholars in grades 6 through 12 a unique opportunity to focus on 21st-century learning. With our five-year goal of becoming a dual-language school with a STEM focus, La Academia is preparing scholars to be global citizens and highly skilled workers. Small classes, hands-on learning, and linkages to local employers make La Academia unique and highly relevant for today’s learners.

Our charter school currently has an enrollment of about 220 scholars in grades 6-12. New scholars are selected by random lottery. LAPCS does not discriminate against scholars or others on the basis of sex, religion, color, sexual orientation, national origin, ancestry, pregnancy, physical, mental or emotional, or learning disability or handicap. We welcome and value differences among people.
