About this Event
The Choice Expo is your one-stop event to explore specialized learning pathways across Fort Worth ISD, from kindergarten through 12th grade.
Meet staff and students from all of FWISD’s Choice Programs, compare the options, and receive in-person help with applications. The Choice lottery application window is from November 7, 2026 to January 8, 2027. Whether your child is just beginning their educational journey or preparing for college, career, and life success, there’s a place for every student in Fort Worth ISD.

Who is this for?
The whole family is invited to the Choice Expo!
Students must be in grades K-10 to be eligible to apply to Choice Programs for the 2027-2028 school year.
What is there to do?
Families can meet teachers, explore programs, and apply on-site for schools that match their child’s interests, from early learning models to career and college-focused pathways.
STEAM Station has fun activities to entertain the family while you browse the arena.
How do I apply?
Applications open the same day as the Expo. FWISD staff will be on-site to help families apply, answer questions, and guide students. Feel free to apply from home anytime through January 8, 2027, when the lottery application window closes. Each student may select up to three choices. The computer-generated lottery will place students in the highest available choice, while keeping them on waitlists for higher-ranked options if space opens later.
IMPORTANT: Seat offers must be accepted or declined by the deadline. If you decline a seat, a spot in a higher-choice program is not guaranteed. All decisions are final. We look forward to seeing you there!
