Open enrollment for 2023-24 runs from April 3, 2023 through April 17, 2023. We will continue to accept  applications after April 17, 2023, however, our grade levels fill up quickly, so fill out your application and submit your required documents as soon as possible to avoid being placed on a waiting list.

Countryside also offers dual enrollment for Agricultural Science and Aviation Career & Technical Education (CTE) classes for families that attend other districts. Courses available are Ag. Science, Ag. Leadership, Zoology, Botany, and Introduction to Flight Aviation 1 & 2. Please speak with your home district's counselor to discuss dual enrollment with Countryside for advancement in CTE programs.  
 
Countryside Academy is a “school of choice”. Your child is not guaranteed admission. There are several factors which are considered when accepting students including, but not limited to: student disciplinary history and grade- level capacity. If a grade-level is “closed”, we have reached capacity in that grade level. Any accepted applications after this closure will be placed on a waiting-list. The waiting-list will be “opened” when the student count for that grade-level is not at capacity. When the waiting-list is opened, if at all, students will be chosen on a first-come, first- served basis with the exception of preference given to siblings of currently enrolled students.
