The Little Acorn Academy is a full-day program for 3-year-olds. The first Little Acorn Academy opened at Gould Elementary School in 2022 and was so successful, that a second location on the city’s east side was opened at the Early Learning Center at Henderson E. Formey, Jr. School just a year later. In order to apply, children must be 3 years old on or before September 1, 2025, and must be potty-trained.  Families residing in the Gould attendance zone will have priority at that location, those residing in the Shuman Elementary, Williams Elementary, and Formey Early Learning Center attendance zones will have priority for admission at Formey.

PLEASE NOTE:

This message is intended for those who have registered their child for the lottery placement in one of our Little Acorn Academies. That lottery was expected to be held on March 5, 2025, as part of the lottery for the district’s Choice Programs.  However, while the Choice Program lottery will move forward on the scheduled date, the lottery for the Little Acorn Academy will be delayed until sometime in late April, closer to May. We wanted to let you know so that you will not be expecting the lottery notification on Friday, March 7, 2025.  As soon as a new date is set for the lottery, it will be posted on SCCPSS.com.  This delay DOES NOT affect the Pre-K Lottery.  That lottery will run as planned on March 5, 2025. We thank you for your support of Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools.
