$60 Non-Refundable Fee
Admission and class placement for most students is determined by a Lottery held each year. Placement is for the school year starting the following September. Submit your registration and pay online. Our secure system requires online electronic payment. E-check, Visa, MasterCard and Discover are available options.
If the Lottery Fee is a financial hardship for your family please review the scholarship information posted on our website and contact Janee McConnell at 303-777-6867 to discuss options. DCP does not waive Lottery, Waitlist, Enrollment or Class Fund fees.
Families who do not participate in the Lottery can submit a Waitlist application through the remainder of the calendar year.
How the Lottery Works
Children are placed in classes for the following school year through a lottery system. A non-refundable Lottery Fee must be paid and an application completed for each student (including twins) to participate.
Complete the Lottery form online and submit it at any time during the 1/25 – 2/3 time-frame. The exact time the form is submitted has no bearing on your placement in the Lottery, only that it is submitted within the open dates (i.e. the Lottery is NOT first-come, first-served). On the Lottery application you indicate your first, second, third, and in some cases a fourth, day/time preference for classes. Your application is then put into a pool of applications for each of the classes you selected. All applications are randomly assigned a number which determines the order of final class rosters and waitlists. Preference is given in the following order of status: current families/staff children, siblings of current students, children of alumni/alumni families, church members and new families.
Students who are not placed in a class are automatically put on a Waitlist for all classes they preferenced. This process starts over each school year. Waitlists are not carried over from year-to-year. You must re-apply each year.
