Candeo Schools is urging parents and students to be forward-thinking concerning the upcoming school year’s enrollment, according to a news release.

Although the education industry has recently become accustomed to the seismic shift of COVID-19, it is important families keep the 2021-2022 school year’s enrollment a top priority.

Candeo’s campus in Peoria, 9965 W. Calle Lejos, will conduct open enrollment the entire month of November.

Students who submit an application during this window are eligible for the lottery and receive priority status ahead of standard enrollment applicants. Standard enrollment occurs after the open enrollment period has come to a close. Students applying during the standard enrollment time frame will be eligible on a first-come, first-served basis after open enrollment admissions. Candeo Peoria will fill to 648 students.

“Candeo is excited to welcome even more students to our outstanding classical schools,” Stephanie Musser, Candeo Schools founder and CEO, said in a news release. “We are committed to continue delivering award-winning education even in these challenging times, and encourage parents and students looking for advanced schooling options to consider Candeo.”

The charter school is offering in-person and virtual tour options for prospective parents and students. In-person tours take place at the Peoria campus every Tuesday 9-10 a.m.

“Our Peoria location is heading into its 14th year of operation with a robust story of success behind it,” said Becky Palisuri, new head of school for Candeo Peoria. “The best time to apply is during the open enrollment window in November, because students are afforded the chance for lottery placement and priority status for the coming year.”
