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) Choice Lottery Placement process. The lottery application period for the 2025-2026 school year is now closed. However, we still have some seats available. If you are interested in a seat at one of our AF New Haven schools (listed below). Please click here to add your student’s information to our AF internal waitlist.
