Thank you for your interest in enrolling at Vibrant Minds Charter School! We look forward to meeting you and answering any questions you may have about our program. Please thoroughly read through the information below to formally express your interest in enrolling your scholar into VMCS. If you have any questions, call our school at 714-563-2390 or email the Executive Director at dschroeder@vibrantminds.us.
INTEREST FORM
Because the level of interest in our school exceeds our current space availability, we have a transparent and consistent process in place regarding how scholars acquire entrance into VMCS. It all begins with the completion of a simple Interest Form, which does not commit you to enrolling your scholar in our school. But, it does demonstrate your interest in our school and places your scholar's name in our public drawing. Then, if you receive a call saying your scholar is selected, you can determine if you wish to follow through with an enrollment packet. If interested, please complete our Interest Form, which will take you less than five minutes. It all begins here!
IMPORTANT DATES TO NOTE:
*Parents/Guardians who do not complete the formal registration packet by the due date will forfeit their scholar's spot to the next scholar on the waiting list.

SELECTION PROCESS

NORMAL GRADE PLACEMENT FOR CALIFORNIA
Throughout California, a chart such as this is used to determine a scholar's NGP (Normal Grade Placement). This may be helpful to you as you determine when your scholar is of the correct age to enter Transitional Kindergarten or Kindergarten. Please note that the entry date for Transitional Kindergarten has been changed in California to include more scholars. This is in progress, and an update to this chart may occur. Unfortunately, VMCS does not have a preschool option, which would occur prior to Transitional Kindergarten.
