How to Apply

As a public, independent charter school, SBS is considered a ‘school of choice,’ providing an alternative option to other public schools within the Napa Valley Unified School District.  

Schools of choice are considered non-boundary, which means that they do not use an address to determine priority.  Students are enrolled in Stone Bridge School on a space-available basis.  All students residing in California may apply for admission to SBS.  Students are selected randomly by lottery during our Open Enrollment period each year.

The school shall not discriminate against any student on the basis of race, religion, ethnicity, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, perceived orientation, home language, or disability, nor shall it charge tuition.

ENROLLMENT FOR THE 2025/26 SCHOOL YEAR:

Our Open Enrollment period for the 25/26 school year ran from January 21, 2025 to 4:00pm on February 14, 2025, and applications received during that window were included in our open enrollment lottery on January 27, 2025.

We are now accepting post-open enrollment applications. If you are interested in applying for our program, please fill out our Enrollment Interest Form here:
