The Office of School Choice & Enrollment (OSCE) serves as the entry-point for students and families seeking to enroll in New Haven Public Schools in grades PK-12. New Haven Public Schools operates a range of schools with various instructional themes and specialties that help to engage students in the learning process. We’d love to have you be a part of our learning community. 

The Office of School Choice & Enrollment manages the comprehensive student enrollment process across grades Pre-K through 12 and ensures that all students are appropriately registered to attend a New Haven Public School in compliance with all guidance set forth by the Connecticut State Department of Education and the New Haven Board of Education. 

Our office manages all student enrollment services including registration and withdrawals, the student-to-school assignment process, student information updates, homeschooling intakes and the district’s extensive school choice process for more than 40 Interdistrict Magnet, Intra-district Magnet and Neighborhood schools.

Our office aims to:

1. Provide quality customer service and support to families around enrollment services and streamlined efficiencies.
2. Successfully manage a transparent and equitable school enrollment process through substantive education for families around standard enrollment and school choice options.
3. Establish and sustain student pipelines for talented students from diverse racial backgrounds and resident towns into our schools of choice.
