Have proof of physical examination, immunization records (unless exempt in accordance with 141-C:20-c), documentation to verify student’s date of birth, and proof of residency.

All New Hampshire students are eligible to apply if they and their parent/guardian:

Lottery Process

If at any time the number of eligible applications submitted for a given grade exceeds the number of spaces available, candidates for admission will be selected through a random lottery drawing of all eligible applications. Applicants who do not gain admission will be placed on a waitlist in the order their lottery number was drawn. If there are ever fewer applicants than spaces available, Kreiva will not conduct a lottery. Kreiva Academy’s waitlist will roll over from one year to the next. Each year, before the lottery, families still on the waitlist will have to reaffirm that they still want a space at the school.

Siblings of children already enrolled will receive preference in the lottery or will be moved to the top of the waitlist if necessary. If there are not enough spots for the interested siblings, there will be a special lottery among sibling applicants to determine admission and placement on the waitlist. The sibling lottery will take place prior to the lottery for the general public.
