SCVi Charter School, the founding campus of the iLEAD Schools network, is hosting a series of informational events for prospective families as the deadline for the 2026-27 school year enrollment lottery approaches.

To be included in the public lottery on March 27, families must submit applications by the March 23 deadline.

Voted Best Charter School in the Santa Clarita Valley, SCVi offers a tuition-free public education that prioritizes project-based learning and social-emotional development.

The upcoming events provide a firsthand look at the school’s unique whole-child approach, which includes dual-language immersion, aerospace pathways and the International Baccalaureate Career-related Programme.

Highlighting this year’s enrollment season is the launch of College Connect, a first-of-its-kind college pathway for high schoolers.

Developed in partnership with a local community college, the program allows learners in grades 9-12 to earn transferable college credits on the SCVi campus at no cost. Unlike traditional dual-enrollment programs, College Connect is available to all students through self-selection, removing GPA barriers to ensure every learner has a “test drive” of the college experience.

Upcoming Informational Community Events:

All events to be held at SCVi, 28060 Hasley Canyon Road, Castaic, CA 91384.
