Pioneer School of the Arts

Current students do NOT need to complete an application. The info below applies to students who want to attend Pioneer starting next year, including incoming siblings and new students.

You are here because you love Pioneer. Sharing your experience with other families who are examining their schooling options for the 2025-26 school year is the best way for us to ensure strong enrollment which helps us maintain our unique instructional program/school structure.

Please consider sharing your thoughts about Pioneer ...

• When TALKING with other families
• By SENDING them this e-mail
• And by SHARING our application post from Facebook and Instagram

Siblings who do NOT currently attend Pioneer (i.e. an incoming Kindergarten student) need an application submitted by the due date. If a sibling is currently enrolled at Pioneer and will continue to be next year, your incoming child will receive sibling preference in the lottery.

Lottery applications for next school year are now available on the school website (click the menu button titled "Lottery") or using the button below.

Applications are DUE on November 30, 2023

Want to learn more about Pioneer? See below for upcoming information session/tours.

Make sure you get your application in ON-TIME so that your child has the best opportunity to have a seat at Pioneer. You will have a MUCH better chance of having your child attend Pioneer if you get in through the initial lottery rather than ending up on the waitlist.

Please join us for an upcoming information session/building tour. Over approximately 45-60 minutes, we will cover ...

• What is a "School of Choice" in West Ada?
• Pioneer's focus on the arts
• Pioneer curriculum/programs
• Other important school information
• Pioneer/West Ada Lottery Process & Procedures
• Kindergarten Info (registration, structure, etc)
• Q& A (don't be shy)

This is a great option for families who want more information about Pioneer and/or want to come to see the school in-person. We will start with the information session and then tour the campus.

Note: We strongly encourage families to attend one of the scheduled tours as we are unable to offer individual tours of the facility to all who might request. If you have any questions about Pioneer, please don't hesitate to call the office @ 208-855-4100.
