Welcome Message From The Director
Elmwood Village Charter School began as a vision of a parent living in the Elmwood Village area of Buffalo. She envisioned a small community school that would be able to address the individual learning needs of its students. She assembled a group of educational experts that included veteran teachers, university professors, behavioral experts, and school administrators...more>>
Admissions
Elmwood Village Charter School is a public school of choice, and there is no tuition or fees required for attendance. Admission to EVCS is done through a lottery system. In order to enter a child in the lottery, parents/guardians must submit a completed application by Monday, March 31, 2008. The public lottery will be held on, Thursday, April 10, 2008. Students who do not secure a spot in the school through the lottery are placed on a waiting list. Siblings of students who are currently enrolled at EVCS are given preference. In the event that we have more siblings applying for admission than available seats, a sibling lottery will be held before the general lottery. Once a student is admitted to EVCS, that child's place in the school is secure, and he or she will not have to go through the lottery in subsequent years. Preference for admission must also be given to Buffalo residents. Applications received after March 31 may result in a child being placed on the waiting list. EVCS does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, native language, disability, or marital status of a student’s parents.
