Enrollment
Enrollment in any charter school is a choice made by parents to participate in the alternative educational approach offered by that charter school. We strongly encourage parents to take a school tour before applying to assist you in deciding whether Live Oak Charter is a good choice for your child and family. Tours provide an overview of Live Oak’s unique educational program, school culture, and commitment and support needed by both parents and students. We look forward to meeting you at a school tour and answering any questions you might have about Live Oak and the enrollment process.
Applications often exceed the number of available spots. Please carefully review the application and enrollment guidelines that are in accordance with California Education Code as it applies to Charter Schools and Live Oak's enrollment policy.
