Looking for a Different APS School?
Whether you're looking for a different learning environment, a specialized program, or a school closer to work, APS offers families school choice options across the district.
Most APS schools have space available, and many families are able to enroll in the school that best fits their child's interests and needs. We will begin accepting transfers for the 2027-2028 school year in October 2026.
Please note: Transportation is only provided to a student’s neighborhood school. Families choosing a different school are responsible for transportation.
