2. Introduction
 Schools within the Burnham Wood Charter School
District benefit from an organizational focus on education
quality and academic performance. Every year in
February, students who already attend a school within
the Burnham Wood Charter School District are able to
submit re-enrollment packets to return the following year,
before new student applications are considered. In
addition, siblings of current students are given priority
over new student applicants.
Research shows that brothers and sisters who study at
the same school can realize many positive benefits.
According to one study from 2014, younger siblings who
have an academically successful older sibling are almost
twice as likely to find academic success themselves.

3. Attending the Same School
 Additionally, having a sibling at the same school can help
anxious children feel more positive in unfamiliar
educational environments, providing them with an
increased feelings of security.
Sending siblings to the same school also offers them the
opportunity to be a part of one community, while also
providing them with a shared experience that can lead to
better bonding. As long as children are encouraged to
develop strong identities and are taught to embrace their
own abilities, the experience of attending school with a
sibling can be a significant advantage to all involved.
Of course, after returning students and their siblings
enroll, all remaining slots are open to children throughout
El Paso County at no tuition charge.
