Applications for the 2027–2028 school year are not yet open.

Complete the 2027–2028 Enrollment Interest Form to receive information about eligibility, application dates, and next steps.

iUniversity Prep does not typically accept new students after the school year has begun. However, if limited space becomes available and mid-year enrollment is considered for the 2026-2027 school year, families who would like to be considered may indicate their interest on the 2027-2028 Enrollment Interest Form.

Important eligibility update: Most new students applying for 2027–2028 must have attended a Texas public school for at least six weeks during the 2026–2027 school year. Exceptions apply to certain new Texas residents, dependents of deployed military members, and students placed in substitute care. Please review our Admission Requirements for details.
