Challenge to Excellence Enrollment Policy & Process
C2E is a premier Douglas County S.T.E.A.M. public charter school specializing in math and science through technology immersion. We implement project-based learning in every classroom. Students learn by actively engaging in inquiry based learning through collaboration, critical thinking and problem solving solutions. Our students acquire deeper learning through real-world problems and solutions. Students learn by doing.
C2E combines research-based, best practice curriculum with technology integration for excellence in education. Beyond performing well on standardized tests, our students are able to apply their learning to real life problem solving and production of creative outcomes. Review the information below if you are interested in joining our community.
- Challenge to Excellence Charter School (C2E) utilizes the Douglas County School District Open Enrollment Tool.
- Parents must complete Open Enrollment the year prior to the desired enrollment; for example, parents who want to enroll for the 2024-2025 school year must complete Open Enrollment during the 2023-2024 school year.
- Enrollment is based on grade level availability; Douglas County residents, siblings of currently enrolled students, and children of staff members are given priority. To enroll siblings, please complete this sibling enrollment form AND complete the Open Enrollment Process.
- When an enrollment offer is made, families have 48 hours to accept.
- Families who do not receive an offer during the first round of Open Enrollment in December will be placed on the waiting list for the second round of Open Enrollment in January.
- C2E’s wait list is purged after the second round of Open Enrollment closes in August.
- C2E is a public charter school and serves students with disabilities and English Learners as required by state and federal law. C2E does not discriminate on the basis of disability, race, creed, color, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, religion, ancestry, need for special education services, and certain other grounds. In most cases, the services required by a student with disabilities can be provided at C2E. In some cases, a student’s individual needs require that they be placed in a different program or location as determined by an IEP or Section 504 team.
