All children who live in Chicago and are five years old on or before September 1 are eligible for enrollment into a CPS kindergarten program.

Nobel Dual Language Elementary is a proud neighborhood school.  All students living within the Nobel Attendance Area can enroll at any time during the school year.  We encourage new families and kindergarten families to register during Registration Week.  More information below.

For all required documents, please visit the CPS Registration Checklist.

For kindergarten families living outside of the neighborhood boundaries, please visit the CPS Office of Access and Enrollment for application and acceptance details.  Students who live outside of Nobel's boundaries must apply through go.cps.edu.

Families experiencing homelessness or temporary living situations and unaccompanied homeless youth do not need the normally required documentation at the time of enrollment. Learn more about eligibility and resources for students in temporary living situations.
