Admission Policy
LAMB is a public charter school in the District of Columbia, which means it is free and open to all DC residents. LAMB admits students of any race, color, national or ethnic origin to all the rights privileges, programs and activities made available to students at the school. The school does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, religion or sexual orientation in any way. LAMB admissions will be offered to 3- and 4-year-olds whose parents submit applications. Children must be three or four years of age before Sept. 1. If there are too many applications to fill the number of available spaces, a lottery will be conducted.
Because the school's bilingual component is based on the Dual Language Educational (DLE) model, half of the student population must be native speakers of the targeted language (in LAMB's case, Spanish). The other 50 percent of the school population can be second- or third-language learners.
