The Lottery That Could Change Your Life Facebook Twitter Email This Post Great Hearts Academies January 11, 2023 It’s about time for the annual Great Hearts Arizona Lottery. The LIVE broadcast event will show families who submitted an application during the open enrollment period their chances of receiving an offer for the 2023-2024 school year at one of our academies. This LIVE broadcast will take place on January 18th, 2023, beginning at 8:00 AM (MST) on YouTube and Facebook. Please refer to the event rundown below to find out what time you should tune in. The 2-hour programming will include valuable information and presentations about our ESS programs, Anthenaeum after-school programs, our Preparatory programs, and Archway programs. During the broadcast, we will also be joined by our Arizona Superintendent, Brandon Crowe. Stephanie Eck, Enrollment Manager for Great Hearts Arizona, will be working on and off camera during the lottery, ensuring everything runs smoothly for the anticipating families. “The Great Hearts Lottery is an exciting time for new families hoping to receive that offer of enrollment for next school year,” said Eck. “Parents want the best for their student and believe that Great Hearts is that opportunity. The lottery is the beginning of that process for their path and future.” Any application submitted during the open enrollment period is eligible for a lottery. When academies receive more applications than there are seats available, an academy/grade independent lottery is held to determine the waitlist order. The lottery assigns a random number to each application and the applications are ordered on the waitlist based on the lottery number, application type, and priority status. Have your assigned student ID number in hand during the lottery as this number will appear on the screen instead of names to protect your privacy. Great Hearts’ waitlist is ordered based on application type and any applicable priority status such as sibling or transfer priority. Applicants may move up or down the waitlist during the lottery depending on application priority and/or application type and seat availability throughout the lottery. After the Lottery, each Great Hearts academy will extend offers to families according to their number on the waitlist and fill any available seats for the next school year. Offers are sent in writing and families are given a deadline to accept their offer and complete registration. If you do not receive an offer at that time, you will receive a waitlist position, which you may track via our Parent Portal. Additionally, offers will continue to be sent out through the school year as seats become available. Below is the rundown of the LIVE event and approximate times (MTN).
