Royal Oak is a Schools of Choice District for Oakland County residents in kindergarten, first, second and third grades. Once a student is enrolled as a Schools of Choice student in the district, he/she may continue to attend through high school, provided the enrollment is continuous.

Schools of Choice applications are now available on the district website, www.royaloakschools.org.

Additional enrollment opportunities for grades 4-7 may be considered by the school board in the spring. Monitor the website for additional information.

Parents may enroll students at the district’s centralized location at 800 DeVillen, Royal Oak, between 7:30 a.m.-4 p.m., Monday-Friday. Enrollment procedures must begin by 4 p.m. because the office closes at 4:30.
