Admissions
Application's for the 2025-26 school year lottery have closed. No late applications can be accepted.
We have been informed that the NSS cap will have an effect on Hudson lottery applicants this year. To comply with 603 CMR 1.05(10)(b), all Hudson residents who applied by the application deadline are included in the lottery but offers of admission will be limited to siblings of currently attending students. All remaining non sibling Hudson residents will be placed on the waitlist but will be "skipped over" and not eligible for enrollment. If the Hudson Public School District no longer is at its NSS cap, and a vacancy occurs, a Hudson resident applicant from the waitlist might become eligible for enrollment.
Further information for FY26 (2025-26) regarding NSS caps is available on the DESE website.
The lottery will be held using Microsoft Teams on Tuesday, February 25th at 10am. The link to watch will be available HERE on 2/24/2025. Or Dial in manually:

Within 48 hours of the lottery all applicants will receive their child's individual result by email and see the results posted on the AMSA website.
Students are admitted via lottery on a space-available basis with preference given first to siblings of current students, then to applicants from our four core charter towns (Marlborough, Hudson, Maynard, Clinton), then other towns.
Any new student who would like to attend AMSA for the 2025-2026 school year must apply for the 2025-2026 lottery. This means students who were not chosen in last year's lottery must apply again, and siblings of current students must apply (they receive top priority).
There is no cost or obligation to enter the lottery. Even if you are unsure about AMSA, we encourage you to submit a lottery application and decide later if your student is picked. Lottery applications are accepted only for current 5th-8th grade students. AMSA does not enroll students after 9th grade.
There is no advantage to submitting your application early. All applications received during the lottery application period (November 19, 2024, at noon to February 7, 2025, at 4 p.m.) have an equal chance in the lottery.
