Admissions and Enrollment

Tours will continue on every Tuesday at 9:00 a.m. throughout the 2025-2026 school year, excluding holidays, school breaks and  scheduled school events.

2026 - 2027  Open Enrollment

The Open Enrollment period for prospective students is December 1- February 20, 2026. Prospective parents and guardians are required to create a SchoolMint account to complete the online application process. Please be sure to list the name and grade of the prospective student. Completing the online application and listing the student does not secure a seat. 

  
Enrollment preferences are given based on our Charter Application and Georgia State Law (if space is available) to: 

• • • A sibling of a student enrolled in the school 
    • A student whose parent or guardian is a member of TMSA's Governing Board or is a full-time teacher, paraprofessional or other TMSA employee 

Re-Enrollment is the process by which The Main Street Academy indicates to current students and parents/guardians our desire to continue our relationship for the upcoming school year. For your child to continue their education with TMSA, each child must be "re-enrolled" through our online process. There are a limited number of seats available in each grade level, so we must confirm your child’s return during this Re-Enrollment period. If you do not confirm by the deadline, your child’s seat cannot be guaranteed. TMSA's annual re-enrollment process begins every January.  

The Intent to Return/Re-Enrollment period for existing TMSA students begins at 12:00 a.m./midnight on Tuesday, January 6, 2026, and closes at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, January 20, 2026. There are no exceptions. Upon completing the Intent to Return Form via SchoolMint, TMSA parents/guardians must submit two proofs of residency (residing within the Fulton County Schools District) from the lists below reflecting their name and current residential address. It's imperative for TMSA parents/guardians to adhere to the re-enrollment window to ensure their students' seats for the 2026 - 2027 academic school year.  

The Main Street Academy's Open Enrollment Lottery will be held virtually via Zoom (click here for zoom login on the day of the lottery), with no in-person attendance, at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday,  February 24, 2026.  Prospective households who applied for admission to The Main Street Academy prior to the lottery will receive an email regarding acceptance or waitlist status on this date or soon thereafter. Please access your SchoolMint account to check the status of admission. Feel free to contact TMSA's Data Manager and Registrar, LaShonda Liptrot, for questions or concerns. 

2026 - 2027 Waitlist

After the Lottery, any new applications will be added to our waitlist in the order they are received (first-come, first-served) and considered. We will continue working through the waitlist until we reach seat capacity for the 2026-2027 school year. To submit an application for the waitlist, please apply via SchoolMint.

If offered a seat:
To complete the enrollment process and secure your child's seat, prospective parents/guardians must submit the TMSA Enrollment Application and Policy Packet. Finalized acceptance and enrollment into The Main Street Academy is contingent upon verification of information submitted, including but not limited to the student being a resident of the Fulton County Schools District (not the Atlanta Public Schools district).
