Admissions

Welcome to STAR Academy! Our family-oriented campus is located just 10 minutes north of downtown Memphis. We offer a rigorous, tuition-free, public education for kindergarten through sixth-grade students.

If you’re new to the area or have a child ready for kindergarten, you’ll need to complete our admissions process to enroll.

Application Process

We accept applications on a first-come, first-served basis. If we receive more applications for a specific grade level than we have space to accommodate, we will conduct an enrollment lottery in compliance with the Tennessee Public Charter Law.

Step 1: Apply.

Step 2: Upon acceptance, complete the official registration packet at the new student orientation.
