Class sizes:

Northpoint Expeditionary Learning Academy believes that students learn best in classrooms containing fewer than 25 students.  We will maintain class sizes of 25.  Our maximum per grade level depends on the courses offered and the class sizes.  When a course fills to 25 students, all remaining applicants will move to the wait list for lottery drawing.  Please email or call for futher information. Crew classes and Intensives will have fewer students than core academic classes.

Lottery information:  (ARS 15-184)

Northpoint Expeditionary Learning Academy shall enroll all students who submit a completed eligibility packet prior to  MAY 31, unless the number of eligible students exceeds the noted capacity of any course maximum given grade level.  If capacity is insufficient to enroll all eligible students who submit an eligibility packet prior to MAY 1, then a lottery of all eligible applicants shall be conducted on MAY 1.  All eligible students thereafter will be entered into a lottery, closing on the last day of each month, which shall be conducted on the first day of each month until the start of school.
