The timing of enrollment offers is difficult to predict and varies by academy and grade level. Registrars make offers as seats become available through student withdrawals or changes in enrollment. Seats often become available before the start of school, but we cannot guarantee when or how many openings will occur.

Yes. Waitlists are organized according to application type and applicable enrollment priorities. A student’s position may change as seats are offered, families accept or decline offers, applications are updated, or priority statuses are applied.

Your child will remain on the waitlist for the 2027–2028 school year and may receive an offer if a seat becomes available. If your child does not receive an offer during that school year, you must submit a new application during Open Enrollment for 2028–2029. Waitlist positions do not carry forward from one school year to the next.

No. Siblings of fully enrolled students receive priority on the waitlist, but an enrollment offer is not guaranteed. Offers remain dependent on seat availability in the sibling’s grade.

No. In accordance with state eligibility requirements, a child must be five years old on or before September 1 of the year the child enters kindergarten. Great Hearts Texas does not make exceptions or offer early-entrance testing for kindergarten.
