4 | CHOICE ENROLLMENT PROGRAMS | ||||
5 | Applicants to grades K-8 can select up to 20 Choice programs on their GoCPS application. All Choice programs fill seats through a random computerized lottery; sibling preference is offered at all grade levels and staff preference is offered at the entry-level grade only. New for the 2025-26 application cycle, families will rank Elementary Choice programs in order of preference on the GoCPS application. Elementary applicants can receive one single best offer in the Choice category and will be automatically waitlisted for any programs ranked higher than the offer received. Students are guaranteed a seat at their attendance area (neighborhood) school and families do not need to apply there through GoCPS. Unless otherwise noted, current CPS PreK students who do NOT attend their attendance area school must reapply through GoCPS if they wish to remain there for kindergarten. | ||||

12 | One-Way Dual Language Program (Spanish/English) | ||||
13 | One-way dual language programs provide instruction in two languages and are primarily intended to serve English Learners (ELs). Students receive core instruction (language arts, math, science, social science) through a second language with the goal of all students becoming bilingual and biliterate in both Spanish and English. Because one-way programs are designed with the needs of ELs in mind, selections for these programs will prioritize Spanish-speaking ELs. Applicants who do not speak Spanish may not be eligible to receive an offer to one-way programs. Please note that many Dual Language programs are phasing in and will add one grade level each year until all grade levels served by the school offer the program. | ||||

42 | Two-Way Dual Language Program (Spanish/English) | ||||
43 | Two-way dual language programs aim for a 50:50 balance of English Learners (ELs) and non-ELs in the classroom. Students serve as language models to each other as they acquire the second language. Like one-way programs, two-way dual language programs provide instruction in two languages. Students receive core instruction (language arts, math, science, social science) through a second language with the goal of all students becoming bilingual and biliterate in both Spanish and English. For students applying to grades 3 and above, Spanish proficiency is necessary for students to be successful in the program. Please note that many Dual Language programs are phasing in and will add one grade level each year until all grade levels served by the school offer the program. | ||||
