If your student has a sibling who will be coming to Maeser for the 2026-27 school year, you will need to submit an application for them at maeserprep.org/admissions between November 1 and January 31. The application will have a place to indicate that they are a sibling of a current student so they will get priority in the lottery.

If you have any questions, please email registrar@maeserprep.org.
