Enrollment

Frederick Elementary School is a neighborhood charter school operated by the Baltimore Curriculum Project. We’re a different type of charter school. Other charter schools are lottery only. We serve our neighborhood zone first, then we go to a lottery.

Who Can Enroll?

Any Kindergarten through 5th grade child living or moving into the neighborhood zone may enroll at any time, without participating in a lottery. 

If you live in this zone, call or email the school to enroll. 

We also serve non-zoned elementary school students throughout Baltimore City.

If there are no vacancies at the time, students can be added to a waitlist or upcoming lottery.

Pre-Kindergarten

At Frederick Elementary School, our early learners are provided with a safe, stimulating, and developmentally appropriate environment. Additionally, we provide a quality educational experience.

To enroll in our PreK program, your child must be 4 years old prior to September 1. Priority is given to students who meet the age requirement and are considered low-income, homeless, or receive special education services. All Pre-K registration must be done online through Baltimore City Public Schools.
