Thank you for your interest in Sage International! Sage
International is a K-12th grade International Baccalaureate
World School, and proud to be the only free, public school in Idaho (and only of only 3 in the US) offering students the full K-12 International Baccalaureate curriculum. As a K-12 IB World School, our educational program combines academic rigor with an emphasis on students’ personal development. Our IB graduates are engaged local and global citizens, lifelong learners, and are equipped with the '21st century skills' needed to live and work in a world with rapidly evolving technologies and many complex issues. Following is a brief summary of the 4 IB Programmes offered at Sage International:
As a Public Charter School, Sage International uses a lottery process for admission. Our 2023 Lottery will take place on March 2. Our application opens on January 2 and must be received no later than Monday, February 27, 2023. You can find more information here.
The number of openings for any given school year varies by grade, as returning students receive priority seats. If the number of students entered in the lottery exceeds the number of seats available, those who are not offered a seat immediately are placed on a waitlist in the order that their name was drawn.
Idaho's Charter School Lottery Process:
The Idaho Legislature established the lottery process for charter school admission through Idaho Code Statute 33-5206. As a brief overview, all applicants are placed into grade-level-specific 'Lottery Priority Groups' as follows and are drawn in order based on these groupings:
First Priority: Children of full-time employees, and children of Sage Founders (provided that this admission preference shall be limited to not more than 10% of the initial capacity of Sage International School).
Second Priority: Siblings of students already selected by the lottery
Third Priority: Students enrolled the previous school year at Rolling Hills Public Charter School or Future Public School.
Fourth Priority: Applicants that reside within the Boise School District Attendance Boundaries.
Fifth Priority: Applicants that reside outside the Boise School District Attendance Boundaries.
Non-Discrimination: Sage International School of Boise does not discriminate on the basis on race, color, religion, and national or ethnic origin in its educational and admissions policies and affords to all students the rights, privileges, programs and activities made available at the school.
