Admissions
Accreditation ||

Although the school is a private institution of the Roman Catholic Church, students of any race, religion, national or ethnic origin may be considered for admission. Intake documentation is reviewed by the admissions committee and final admission decisions are made by the principal. In seeking admission, an applicant should submit an application with the appropriate non-refundable application fee accompanied by the most recent grade report and standardized test results. Two recommendations, submitted on forms provided by the school, are also required. In some instances, applicants for the high school may be required to submit a transcript of all course work completed. Applicants for grade 9 are also required to sit for the High School Placement Test.


After intake documentation has been reviewed, in some instances, further testing and/or an interview with the principal will be scheduled.

The parent of the applicant will be notified of the admission decision by telephone or letter.

Placement from year to year is not guaranteed. Priority admission (or readmission) shall be granted as follows:

a.)

Students who are presently enrolled and have been approved for re-enrollment
b.) Siblings of current enrollees
c.)

Catholic students who wish to transfer from a Catholic Elementary school
d.) Other Catholic students
e.) All other students

Completion of Registration

Registration is completed in August with payment of activities fees and receipt of the final class schedule.

All fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.

Admission Status
Regular Admission: Following review of intake documentation, the student is approved for admission into the appropriate program (general studies or honors advanced studies). Ordinarily, students seeking regular admission must have a 2.0 grade point average and an acceptable record of attendance and deportment.
Probationary Admission: A small number of students who do not meet requirement for regular admission, with the approval of the principal, may be admitted on probation. These decisions are made on a per applicant basis.
Probationary admission may require the execution of a special contract, periodic review of the performance of the student to determine whether or not continued enrollment is indicated, periodic review of the student's record of attendance and/or deportment, additional tutorial services that must be provided by the family with periodic documentation of progress provided to the school, or a combination of the above requisites.
Because financial aid is extremely limited, families wishing to apply for aid should do so during the spring semester.

Parents may elect to pay tuition in full prior to August 10th. Those choosing to exercise this option will receive a 5% discount. Those wishing to make monthly installments will do so through F.A.C.T.S. Tuition Management, Inc. Payments may be amortized over 10 months (July through August).
