Gowan Science Academy Admissions

Gowan Science Academy offers a rigorous, fast-paced curriculum for students in Kindergarten through 8th grade, with a strong focus on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Our inquiry-based learning approach challenges students to reach their full potential and prepares them to thrive in an ever-changing global community.

We are part of the Crane School District, operate as an Open Enrollment public school, and welcome applications from all students residing in Yuma County.

Looking Ahead to 2026–2027 - NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS!

  • Lottery application window: December 1, 2025 – February 15, 2026

  • Lottery deadline: February 15, 2026

  • No entrance exams, interviews, or fees – we are completely tuition-free.

How Our Lottery Works

  • More students apply than we have space for, so admission is determined by a random lottery.

  • A new lottery is held each year.

  • Students must reapply each year if they remain on the waitlist.

  • Once admitted, students remain enrolled until they are promoted or withdraw – no need to reapply.
