Doral Academy Of North Carolina

Doral Academy of North Carolina (Raleigh, NC) directs families to apply online through the enrollment/registration link posted on its site (e.g., https://www.doralacademync.com/enroll/registration.jsp). (doralacademync.com) The school’s stated open-enrollment window runs from 8:00 a.m. on the first Monday in November through midnight on the first Monday in February each year (based on this policy, the 2026–2027 window would be Nov 2, 2026 to Feb 1, 2027). (doralacademync.com) If applications exceed available seats, it uses a public lottery held at a scheduled open meeting of the board; sibling applications can be handled as a “sibling lottery” where one surname represents all siblings (including multiple births) if space allows. (doralacademync.com) After the lottery, applicants are contacted in drawn order and placed on an accepted list or waitlist, and families must accept/decline within five school days (or within 72 hours if the offer occurs between Aug 1 and the 30th day of school). (doralacademync.com) Eligibility/requirements noted on the site include being a bona fide North Carolina resident/domiciliary at the time of application, with a limited exception for certain active-duty military transfers who may apply remotely before establishing residency (with proof handled later). (doralacademync.com) Enrollment priority categories listed include (among others) recommitting current students; multiple sibling-related priorities; certain preschool-to-K articulations (including a cap for an external preschool agreement); children/grandchildren of full-time employees or board members (capped); certain returning former students; articulation from another NC charter that doesn’t offer the next grade; and students with a parent/guardian on active military duty.
