Broward County Public Schools has extended the School Choice application window for the 2026–27 school year, giving families additional time to apply for specialized programs and school reassignment options.
The application period, which allows families to apply for magnet programs, Nova schools, and reassignment to schools outside their assigned attendance boundaries, will now close on Wednesday, January 28, 2026.
BCPS officials say the extension is intended to give families more time after the new year to explore available options. The district offers a range of innovative and personalized learning programs designed to align with students’ interests while preparing them for college, careers, and life beyond the classroom.
Families can review School Choice options and access instructions for the application process by visiting browardschools.com/schoolchoice.
A Broward County Public Schools student number is required to submit an application. Parents and guardians of students who will be new to the district for the 2026–27 school year can obtain a student number by visiting any BCPS school. A government-issued photo ID and the child’s birth certificate are required for verification.
For additional information, families can contact the BCPS Office of School Choice at 754-321-2480 or by email at [email protected].
