Application Steps & Dates


If you are interested in applying to middle school or high school admissions-based programs, visit this page or contact the campus directly.

Students interested in Middle School and High School admissions-based and magnet programs can now begin preparing their campus-specific application requirements (including essays, auditions, and teacher recommendations) for the 2026–27 school year. 

The enrollment process will look different this year due to potential school consolidations and boundary changes. While Íøºì±¬ÁÏ’s enrollment system, Enroll Austin, won't open until January 2026, application-based schools and programs are accepting materials now. 

Step 1

Now through January: Please visit the campus websites of the programs you are interested in for their specific application requirements and deadlines. 

Step 2

Now through January: Complete the application requirements and submit directly to the campus(es) to which you are applying. Request teacher recommendations from your teachers. 

Step 3

Starting in January (specific date coming soon!): Visit Enroll Austin when it opens in January to complete your official application. All students must submit an Enroll Austin application and rank the programs they’ve applied for in order to be considered. 

The following campuses are now accepting applications:

  • Anderson High School International Baccalaureate (IB) Program
  • Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders
  • Kealing Magnet Program
  • Lamar Fine Arts Academy 
  • Liberal Arts and Science Academy (LASA)
