Enrollment Options

Thank you for your interest in Carlsbad Seaside Academy! We're excited that you're exploring Seaside as a possible option for the upcoming 2026-27 school year.

Why Choose Carlsbad Seaside Academy?

Carlsbad Seaside Academy offers an independent study program that allows students to take core classes online while still being enrolled in their home high school. Whether you're looking for a full-time alternative or part-time coursework to supplement your schedule, Seaside provides an alternative learning experience with personalized support. Depending on courses a student is enrolled in, students will attend in person classes 2-3 times a week, as well as meeting weekly with their Advisor to review progress.

Seaside Academy offers two enrollment pathways:

• Full-Time Enrollment - For students who will attend Seaside as their primary high school.
• Part-Time Enrollment - For students who will remain enrolled at a comprehensive high school while taking at least two classes through Seaside, to support flexibility with athletics, the arts, work, or other commitments.

To get started, families should select one of the two enrollment options and complete the corresponding request form. Your responses help us understand your student's needs and identify how Seaside can best provide support.

What to Expect After Submitting the Form

Once we receive your enrollment request our team will review the information provided and you to schedule a meeting with the student and parent/guardian.

During that meeting, we'll discuss:

• Your student's academic history, goals, and current placement.
• Whether full-time or part-time enrollment is the best fit.
• Program expectations, scheduling, and support structures
• Next steps to prepare for the upcoming school year

Submitting this form begins a conversation, not a commitment. Enrollment decisions are made collaboratively to ensure Seaside is the right fit for each student.

A Thoughtful First Step

We encourage families to take their time and answer the questions thoughtfully. The information you share helps us plan intentionally and support a smooth transition for students who choose to join our community.
