General Information

The application period for the 2025-2026 school year will be November 18, 2024-January 3, 2025. 

Enrollment must be completed with your assigned Choice Program upon notification from the selected school for the 2025-2026 academic year. 

 Upon accepting your child's seat assignment, the final step in the choice process is to complete the enrollment at the school level. You will be contacted by the school when the 2025-2026 enrollment period opens.

To submit a Choice Application, visit the CCS Family Dashboard at: ccsncc.scriborder.com. 

Explore the Choice Program options by accessing the links on this page for each grade level.  For additional information, call the school to speak to the principal or Academy Director. If you have questions regarding the status of your application or student assignment process, contact the CCS’ Student Assignment Office at 910-678-2616. Follow us on Twitter @ #1ChooseCCS to stay informed about Choice Program updates.

Once a parent/legal custodian makes the commitment to enroll a student in a Choice Program, the parent/legal custodian will not be able to transfer the student to another school during the school year. Exceptions to this policy must be requested in writing to the Student Assignment Office and approved by the Board of Education.

Students currently assigned to a Choice Program will remain assigned to that program unless a Choice Exit Application is completed and submitted to the Student Assignment Office. These forms will be available online only through the following link: Student Assignment Forms. The Choice Exit Application window for the 2025-2026 academic year is January 6, 2025-May 30, 2025. Please submit this application if you no longer wish for your child to remain in their current Choice Program assignment. No late applications will be accepted.
