Thank you for your interest in North Idaho Classical Academy! North Idaho Classical Academy's mission is to train the minds and improve the hearts of students through a classical, content-rich curriculum that emphasizes virtuous living, traditional learning, and civic responsibility.

Look here for an overview and outline of the lottery process.

Primary Attendance Zone map and legal description.

PLEASE complete an application for EACH student you would like to enroll. If that applicant has siblings that will also be applying, list them on the form AND fill out an application for that sibling as well.

The Idaho Legislature established the lottery process for charter school admission through Idaho Code Statute 33-5206. As a brief overview, all applicants are placed into grade-level-specific "Lottery Priority Groups" as follows and are drawn in order based on these groupings:

First Priority: Children of full-time employees, and children of school's Founding Group (provided that this admission preference shall be limited to not more than 10% of the initial capacity of the School).

Second Priority: Siblings of students already selected by the lottery.

Third Priority: Applicants transferring from another school in the American Classical School of Idaho federation of schools.

Fourth Priority: Applicants that reside within the the Primary Attendance Zone.

Fifth Priority: Applicants that reside outside the Primary Attendance Zone.

*The State of Idaho requires that your student be 5 years old by September 1, 2026 to attend Kindergarten for the 2026-2027 school year (please refer to Idaho Code Statute 33-201). Proof of birth date is required before enrolling.*
