How to enroll at Intrinsic Schools.

Welcome! We are excited about the possibility of your family joining ours. We are one community but have different application processes for each of our two schools.  Please follow the links below to learn more and apply.

We pride ourselves on our personalized support during the application process. Our enrollment team is available to help you every step of the way. Please contact us anytime at enrollment@intrinsicschools.org or to schedule a 15-minute introductory call with us.

Intrinsic Belmont Enrollment

Because most Belmont Campus students enroll in 7th Grade and stay through 12th Grade, we are only able to accept a very limited number of new 9th Graders each year. (Students who graduate from the Belmont Campus almost always enroll in 7th Grade.)

At Intrinsic Belmont, we run our own lottery for all grades except for 9th Grade. For 9th Grade, we rely on Chicago Public School’s GoCPS system. For the Intrinsic lottery (Grades 7, 8, 10, 11 and 12) families will receive an email and text from SchoolMint immediately after the lottery, followed by a phone call and paper mail. Families will then have until a date each May, TBD, to accept or decline any Intrinsic offer. Please note that due to high retention rates, we are rarely able to take transfer students – most students who enroll at Intrinsic Belmont join us as 7th Graders.

Intrinsic Downtown Enrollment

Because the Downtown Campus serves Grades 9-12, we are able to accept 270 new high school students each year. Students who graduate from the Downtown Campus almost always enroll in 9th Grade. Retention rates are high here, too, so new student transfers after 9th Grade are possible, but relatively rare.

for Lottery February 22, 2024
Applicants with a sibling who is already enrolled at Intrinsic during the 2024-25 school year will be given priority in the lottery for 2024-25. For example, if one of our rising 11th graders has a younger sibling who wants to enroll as a 9th grader, we will give the younger student priority at lottery time. Intrinsic's Discrimination Policy is online here.
