Please complete the Family Interest Form to tell us about your student, ask questions, and join our mailing list, if you haven’t already done so. We will NEVER share your information and we only send occasional updates. (Note: This is not the required AACPS lottery application!)

If you are interested in applying to transfer to New Village Academy THIS school year, we still have a few spaces available! The Lottery application below is for next year only. To attend this year, just reach out directly to us at info@newvillageacademy.org or call 410-216-4626, and we’ll walk you through the application process.

Go to the AACPS Magnet and Charter Lottery Portal to sign in with your child’s AACPS ID number and password and choose New Village Academy from the dropdown menu.

Non-AACPS students can create an account and apply here. After you create an account, choose New Village Academy from the dropdown menu to apply.

Complete our Google Form and we’ll add the application to the AACPS lottery system for you! Spanish version available HERE.

The Lottery Window opens on October 5th, 2026 for the 2027-28 School Year. For NVA, it closes January 15, 2027. After the lottery window closes, lottery numbers will be randomly assigned, with lottery weighting for English learners (ESOL), families who are eligible for free/reduced lunch (apply here for this status), Annapolis residents, and siblings of current students. (See our full enrollment policy here.)

If you miss the lottery window deadline, apply anyway! We will do our best to ensure you get a spot! (First-come, first-served on the waiting list.) Applying is not a commitment to attend, so there is no downside to entering your child’s name for the lottery!

These application forms are confidential – only visible to AACPS and NVA staff and will never be shared. If you have privacy concerns, we also have paper forms that you can complete at our “Discover NVA!” Info Sessions and other events.

ALL Anne Arundel County residents are eligible to apply, regardless of immigration status, and information is only visible by AACPS and NVA.

Lottery seat offers start becoming available in early February. As spaces become available, we will reach out to you! You will then need to decide within 10 days whether you want to accept the spot, to make room for those on the waiting list. Applying to our school does NOT commit your student to New Village Academy, but accepting the offer of a seat DOES mean your student is choosing New Village Academy and plans to attend in the Fall! We host virtual and in-person information sessions throughout the school year and strongly recommend you attend them to learn more about the school.

New Village Academy staff will reach out to enroll accepted students during the Spring. We will need paperwork that confirms Anne Arundel County residence, free and reduced lunch status, medical forms, etc. We’ll help you through this process!

Your student’s Crew Leader (their home-base teacher for all 4 years and the family’s primary contact at the school) will reach out to you to set a date for a home visit to meet the whole family and to make sure students and families are ready for a successful year on Opening Day! (Another meeting location can be arranged, if needed.)
