Note: Students must pass 8th grade and be a resident in the city of Chicago to be eligible for admission to any Noble campus.
Admission Process for 8th Grade Applicants
All Noble campuses host Admission Information Sessions during the fall and early winter to provide more information about their campus. Interested 8th grade students can obtain an application at the Admission Information Sessions. Every campus has an individual application for admission, which is not posted online or distributed to counselors. Students can apply to multiple Noble campuses, but must submit a separate application for each. Please refer to the calendar below for Admission Information Session dates and times. Applications are due at the end of January (please refer to the application for the actual deadline for submission).
Lottery Procedure
If demand exceeds open seats, a blind lottery is held one week after the application deadline. The lottery is open to the public and conducted by drawing participants’ names from a rolling bin. Enrollment is offered to the first names drawn, until all enrollment spots are filled. Waitlist numbers are assigned in the same manner until all names have been pulled from the bin. Any applications received after the deadline are added to the end of the waitlist.
Missed the Application Deadline?
If you have missed the application deadline and would like to be placed on the waitlist, please complete the Waitlist Interest Form. Make sure to note your current school year and the campuses to whose waitlists you would like to be added.

Admission Process for Transfer Students
The admission process is different for current high school students interested in transferring to a Noble campus. Students are placed on a waitlist according to the date they contact us. Campuses might offer enrollment at the beginning of each semester depending on whether they have space available. If a student’s name comes to the top of a campus’ waitlist, the campus will contact them at the phone number or address provided.
If you are interested in transferring into a Noble campus, please complete the Waitlist Interest Form to add your name to the waitlist.
