The initial application serves to note your family’s interest for enrollment in SSA+S, and it is used for contact purposes only. It does not conflict with other application processes such as County-Wide School Choice, other magnet program applications, or private school registrations. We do not participate in County-Wide School Choice. A McKay Scholarship is not necessary, nor utilized at our school. State and local required registration paperwork is not needed at the time of the initial application submission. Further documentation will be requested at the appropriate times. Receipt of the initial application is not a guarantee of enrollment and is subject to the status of our enrollment at the date of receipt of said application, contingent upon review of the student’s specific resource needs (where required), and based upon schedule availability. If the number of applications received exceeds our enrollment capacity, a lottery process will be conducted to fill enrollment vacancies.

Visits with our Registrar must be made in advance and are by appointment only. General public, informational tours are conducted by our Registrar and are by appointment only.  Students must be in enrolled in 4^th grade or above, to have a tour. Tours are limited to the student and parent/guardian(s) only. We currently do not offer an open house for the general public at this time. Student “shadowing” is not permitted.

If you are new to Sarasota County Public Schools, you will need the following county required paperwork, to enroll in any county public school. This would apply to anyone previously enrolled in home education programs, private schools, out-of-county, or out-of-state schools. Click here for the county required documents.
