Future Dragon Gate Academy Admissions

Future Enrollment
At Dragon Gate Academy, we are committed to a fair and transparent enrollment process that mirrors the SFUSD lottery system. Once our charter is approved, families can apply through our online interest form to join our waitlist. If applications exceed available spots, DGA will conduct a random, public lottery to select students, ensuring equal opportunity for all applicants. Like SFUSD, we prioritize offering preferences for siblings of current students

Prospective Parents & Students
Once Dragon Gate Academy receives charter approval we will welcome prospective parents and students to join our vibrant K-8 community, where bilingual education and cultural immersion will thrive. Students will embark on an enriching journey, mastering Mandarin and Cantonese, exploring a robust curriculum, and engaging in dynamic activities like music, art, and physical education, all while building a strong foundation for global citizenship. We can’t wait to get approval to open our doors in August 2026 and create a nurturing environment where every child will flourish!
