It’s almost time to register students at Edison Collegiate High School Lee Campus at 8099 College Parkway in Fort Myers.

The public charter high school, which focuses primarily on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) will be accepting applications for students entering ninth grade in the 2012-2013 school year.

Interested students must submit a lottery registration to Edison Collegiate High School between Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2012 and Friday, March, 23, 2012.

All applications will be submitted electronically and are available on echslee.edison.edu. The school offers computer access to those who need it. All lottery registrations receive an equal chance of acceptance through the enrollment lottery. No preference is given for early submission, GPA or other potential criteria.

Students will be accepted and placed on a sequential waiting list by a computer generated lottery that will be open to the public.

Edison Collegiate High School is a public charter high school with an open enrollment policy. The freshman class holds 100 students and last year almost 300 students applied for a seat in the class.
