What school your child will attend

There are many options for kindergarten for your child, including:

• Neighborhood schools
• Dual-language programs and language immersion programs in neighborhood schools
• Choice Schools (space is limited and students are admitted on a lottery basis):
  • VITA – project-based learning
  • Ruth Bader Ginsburg Elementary – Spanish/English dual-language school
• Tailored Learning Options at Heights Campus 
  • Vancouver Home Connection (VHC)
  • Vancouver Virtual Learning Academy (VLA)

How are students selected for our Choice Schools and Programs?

Lottery selections and waitlists are related to the student’s neighborhood school. The lottery slots available are based on each neighborhood school’s population size and whether the school is underrepresented or overrepresented in the School of Choice’s current enrollment. The goal of the lottery is to ensure the School of Choice enrollment mirrors our district’s enrollment. If a space opens for the waitlist, the next student on that neighborhood school’s waitlist will receive an offer.
