To learn more about enrolling your scholar, complete the Pre-enrollment form (you can find it here) to the best of your capabilities and send it to our Enrollment Coordinator at lisa.xiong@nmaedu.org.

You may also mail/drop it off at our address:

Someone will contact you and schedule an appointment to review the enrollment process. 

Otherwise, you can directly enroll your scholar and join our enrollment waitlist by submitting the Enrollment Form here.

Enrollment Lottery Information

Review NMA’ 102 – Admissions Process & Procedure’s Policy

If your child has been selected by the lottery:

• You will receive an enrollment acceptance in writing and by telephone.
• You will have 7 business days to respond and complete the enrollment form by returning the form back to NMA. Failure to return the enrollment form may cause the student to lose their seat.
• Siblings of currently admitted students are automatically admitted, if applications were received during the open enrollment period, and if space is available.

If your child receives a wait list number:

• Your child will remain on the grade-level waitlist until a spot comes available.
• As spots are declined, children on grade-level waitlists will move up accordingly. Open spots will continue to be filled after the school year begins in August.
