Completion of an application does not guarantee enrollment.  Catalyst is open to ALL students regardless of background, ability, or zip code.

Enrollment for the 2024-2025 school year will open on October 1, 2023.  This site will be updated at that time with a link to the application form.  

While applications are accepted year-round, to be entered into our admissions lottery for the  2024-2025 school year applications must be submitted by 4:30 p.m. on Friday, February 2, 2024.  

Our admissions lottery for the 2024-2025 school year will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, February 5, 2024.  It will be held at Catalyst: Bremerton at 1305 Ironsides Avenue, Bremerton, WA, 98310.  Families are welcome to attend but do not need to be present to be offered a seat.

After the admissions lottery, we will continue to accept applications and will offer seats in the order dictated by our waiting list.  

Families may be eligible for weighted enrollment preferences in the lottery.  You can read about these preferences here.  

Note that applications are accepted for all grade levels, even after the admissions lottery is held.  We accept applications throughout the year and make offers of seats as they are available.  

*We are currently seeking approval to expand to offer seats in the 9th-12th grades.  If approved we will open up seats in the 9th grade for the 2024-2025 school year.  We will begin accepting applications for 9th grade if and when we are approved by the Washington State Charter School Commission to do.  Inquiries about our 9th-12th program can be directed to Stephanie Layson, Principal in Residence at slayson@catalystpublicschools.org
