IVA's Admission Process
Due to an overwhelming interest and limited space in IVA's program, we conduct a random lottery drawing in the spring to determine the following year's incoming 6th-grade class and the order of the waitlist. A lottery will also be held to fill open seats in 7th grade and 8th grade classes and to place applicants on the waitlist.
IVA's lottery is a live and online event, anyone is welcome to attend. Whether or not you attend, all applicants will receive notice of the results within 10 school days of the lottery.
