Admissions

Application Process
The lottery selection for DuBois Integrity Academy (DIA) will take place at 4:00 PM on the third Tuesday in March each year. Enrollment forms will be accepted starting in January, with deadlines announced at least one month before the lottery.

Enrollment Policy
Each potential student will receive an enrollment/lottery number within 2 days of submitting their pre-enrollment form. The lottery will be held in a public place, with a neutral third party conducting the draw. Selected applicants will be notified by mail or phone.
Parents/Guardians must accept the enrollment offer in writing within 4 days of notification. The school will remind families via email during this period. If the offer is not accepted by the deadline, the spot will be given to the next applicant on the waitlist. Proof of current residency is required at the time of admission offer.
Please note: If you voluntarily withdraw your child after being accepted through the lottery system, you must wait two years before reapplying for admission. This policy allows other families the chance to enroll.
Eligibility Criteria
Enrollment at DuBois Integrity Academy (DIA) is open to Clayton County, Georgia residents entering Kindergarten through 8th grade, without discrimination.
Eligibility Criteria:
1. Proof of Residency: Families must provide one of the following documents when submitting an application: a gas bill, electricity bill, cable bill, or lease/mortgage statement. Applications will be voided if proof is not provided or if false residency information is discovered.
2. Grade Completion: Before the first day of school, students must have completed the grade prior to the one they wish to enter. Families must provide evidence of this completion; failure to do so will result in revocation of the enrollment offer.
DIA does not require tests for applicants and does not base enrollment on test results. The school does not discriminate based on race, color, national origin, creed, sex, gender identity, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, age, ancestry, athletic performance, special needs, language proficiency, or prior academic achievement. Information requested during registration is not used for discriminatory purposes.
Waitlist Policy
If the number of eligible applicants for a grade exceeds available spaces, those applicants will be placed on a waitlist based on their randomly generated lottery numbers, considering sibling and resident preferences. If a student leaves DuBois or declines admission, the first student on the waitlist will be offered the seat via phone or written notification.
No student will be admitted ahead of others on the waitlist unless they are siblings of currently enrolled students or children of DIA employees or Board members.
If a student declines or fails to respond to an enrollment offer by the deadline, they will be permanently removed from the waitlist. The waitlist is not carried over each year, but DIA will maintain records of applicants who did not gain admission, including names, addresses, phone numbers, and grade levels.
Returning Students:
Students already enrolled at DuBois do not need to reapply or reregister. Attendance policies will apply to any enrolled student who fails to attend.
