Join The White Pine Family!

Each year White Pine has a limited number of seats available for new students. If the capacity of the school is insufficient to enroll all prospective students, a lottery shall be utilized to determine which prospective students will be admitted to White Pine.

HOW TO APPLY TO THE LOTTERY

A Lottery Application must be completed and submitted to White Pine Charter Schools for all students interested in attending White Pine. The links at the top and bottom of this page will take applicants to the application page.

Kindergarten: The State of Idaho requires that your child be 5 years old by September 1st of the year they start kindergarten (please refer to Idaho Code Statute 33-201). Proof of birth date is required prior to enrolling.
