New Village Academy scheduled to open at Annapolis Mall in August 2026
New Village Academy is scheduled to open at Annapolis Mall in August 2026 for the 2026-27 school year, creating a new public charter-school option for Annapolis families.
The opening remains scheduled, rather than completed. The available school and district information identifies August 2026 as the planned opening period but does not provide a specific first day of classes.
Lottery process began in October 2025
New Village Academy says its lottery window for the 2026-27 school year opened Oct. 5, 2025. The stated date marks the beginning of the school’s lottery process for student enrollment.
The available information does not establish whether the lottery window remains open, how many students the school expects to enroll or how many seats may be available. It also does not state a final enrollment capacity.
Those distinctions matter because the scheduled opening and the start of a lottery process do not, by themselves, confirm current enrollment availability. Families seeking current information on lottery status, seats or enrollment procedures would need updated details from the school.
Listed with three August 2026 openings
Anne Arundel County Public Schools lists New Village Academy among three sites scheduled to open in August 2026. The other two listed sites are Carver Early Education Center and the Marley Glen Center at Severn Run High School.
The district’s list places all three developments on the same August 2026 schedule. New Village Academy, however, should be distinguished from district-operated sites: the available information identifies it as a charter school and does not establish that AACPS will operate it.
AACPS’s listing is separate from the school’s own frequently asked questions page, which identifies Annapolis Mall as the campus location and says the opening will serve the 2026-27 school year. Together, the sources support the planned timing and location, but not further operational details.
What remains to be determined
August 2026 is the next stated implementation point in the available record. Neither the school information nor the AACPS listing provides a revised opening date, a later milestone or a meeting date connected to the launch.
The retrieved sources also do not state the school’s grade configuration or governance details. Those elements should be confirmed through charter documents before being reported as settled facts.
For now, the verified timeline is limited: the lottery window opened Oct. 5, 2025, and New Village Academy is scheduled to open at Annapolis Mall in August 2026 for the 2026-27 school year. The planned opening is one of three sites AACPS says are scheduled to open that month.
