Open Enrollment is a process allowing parents and guardians the ability to apply for admission to any public school, as long as there is classroom space available. Parents and guardians choose to open enroll their children in PVSchools for a variety of reasons, including the unique and innovative award-winning programs, teaching philosophy, extracurricular activities, and more.
Every Student Achieves in PVSchools
PVSchools' staff work daily to inspire, guide, challenge, and nurture. In partnership with parents and the community, our schools help ensure that every student achieves. And, these achievements aren’t just for in-district students.
