Enrollment

Thank you for your interest in Lionsgate Academy. Our enrollment process involves a lottery system through which prospective families will be entered into the lottery for either the Minnetonka campus or the Shoreview campus, based on the location that is closest to the student’s primary residence. (For more information on our boundary areas, please see our Enrollment Policy and our School Boundary Map.)

Our enrollment is complete for the 2024-2025 school year and we are no longer accepting applications. Any spots that open up will be filled from our waitlist. We are currently accepting applications for the 2025-2026 lottery. Any applications received between now and December 31, 2024 will be added to a random lottery that will be conducted the first week in January.

Submitting an application to Lionsgate Academy does not guarantee enrollment. Parents/Guardians must submit an application to the grade that the student would enroll in if enrolled in the student’s resident district.

All students who enter Lionsgate Academy are enrolled through graduation. Siblings will have preference on the waitlist should they want to enroll. The wait list does not carry over from year to year, so any student not gaining entry in any given year will need to reapply for the following year.
