At this time, staff will conduct the fall enrollment lottery to select the scholars from qualifying lottery applicants for the 2025-26 school year at Liberty STEAM Charter. 

LSC has received the required minimum number of lottery applications for its 2025-26 classes (kindergarten, first grade, second grade, third grade, fourth grade, & fifth grade.). Pursuant to the SC Charter Schools Act of 1996 (59-40-10), a public lottery is required in order to determine the selected students for both all grade levels. For next year, we will be filling all 144 new seats in the Kindergarten class.

Representatives from the local media, city government, county government, and the legislative delegation have been invited to observe the lottery proceedings in person. Today's special called meeting of the Board of Directors will be live-streamed via the school's official YouTube page with the option for parents whose scholar (s) is enrolled in the lottery to observe via the Zoom platform as well. To be considered in the initial lottery, applications must be received on or before 11:59 pm November 30 via Lotterease, the electronic platform being utilized to collect enrollment applications and to facilitate the actual lottery event. Please note that applications received between November 30 and the time in which the lottery is conducted are also included in this pool of applications.
