Class sizes:
Northpoint Expeditionary Learning Academy believes that students learn best in classrooms containing fewer than 25 students. We will strive to maintain a class size of 18 to 25 students in core academics. Crew classes and Intensives will have fewer students than core academic classes.
In order to maintain these class sizes Northpoint Expeditionary Learning Academy will not exceed the following grade level capacity for the 2010-11 school year:
9th grade- 65 max
10th grade- 50 max
11th grade- 40 max
12th grade- 25 max
Any changes to these enrollment limits will be published on the website.
Lottery information: (ARS 15-184)
Northpoint Expeditionary Learning Academy shall enroll all students who submit a completed eligibility packet prior to March 31, unless the number of eligible students exceeds the noted capacity of any given grade level. If capacity is insufficient to enroll all eligible students who submit an eligibility packet prior to March 31, then a lottery of all eligible applicants shall be conducted on April 1. All eligible students thereafter will be entered into a lottery, closing on the last day of each month, which shall be conducted on the first day of each month until the start of school.
Northpoint Expeditionary Learning Academy does not limit admission based on ethnicity, national origin, gender, income level, disabling condition, proficiency in the English language or athletic ability.
