ACHIEVEMENT FIRST NEW HAVEN SCHOOLS

Join Us

Thank you for your interest in our Achievement First (AF) New Haven schools! Our AF New Haven schools are part of the New Haven Public Schools (NHPS) Magnet Schools Lottery which is now closed.  But there’s good news, you can still apply for the 2026-2027 school year directly to Achievement First to be added to our waitlist.

Click the “Apply Now” button to create an account and complete an application for Achievement First’s waitlist.  After the NHPS Magnet School Lottery runs on March 31st, we’ll begin making offers to families on our waitlist.  We hope you will be one of them!
