Admissions Process & Application

NEW APPLICATIONS
We are currently accepting applications for the 2024-2025 school year for TYKE through 8th grade.  Please note, we are currently full in 4th through 8th grade.  Applications for preschool are currently closed due to full enrollment and a substantial waiting list for the program. 
 
Applications for the 2025/2056 school year will be available in May 2024.  
General Information
Applications for admission must be submitted online along with all applicable required documents and payment of the application fee.  Applications for admission will not be considered if any of the required documents are missing. 

 

Application Requirements:

  • For grades 1st through 8th, please submit report cards for the past two years as well as any standardized testing scores
 
Preschool through 8th grade Admissions Process:
Applications for preschool through 8th grade are accepted throughout the school year provided there are openings and any necessary student support resources are available.  
 
1st through 8th grade applicants are required to take the STAR assessment in reading and math as part of the admissions process.  The purpose of the STAR assessment is to establish a baseline in reading and math and help identify potential areas of strength and/or areas that may need support.  1st through 8th grade applicants are also required to interview with the grade level assistant principal.  We have found it beneficial for prospective students and the assistant principal to meet prior to acceptance.  The meeting is generally brief and serves as an opportunity for applicants and families to address specific questions or concerns prior to making a commitment.  
 
Applicants will be placed on a waiting list for grade levels that are full.  Priority for acceptance is given as follows:
  1. The school has the necessary programs and resources available to meet the student's needs
  2. The applicant has a sibling currently enrolled or pre-enrolled (deposit paid) in the school*
  3. Applicants who are baptized Catholic and parishioners of St. Edward the Confessor or San Felipe de Jesus (tenure and active participation may be considered), or are relocating to the area and already attending a Catholic school
  4. Applicants who are practicing Catholics at another parish
  5. First-come, first serve
*If multiple applicants on the wait list meet criteria #2, we will defer to the other remaining criteria in order.
 
A math placement test will be administered to those students in grades 6th-8th that are interested in enrolling in an accelerated math class.  
 
Incoming TYKE & Kindergarten Students
A readiness screening is required for all students interested in enrolling in TYKE or Kindergarten.
 
  • The readiness screening is held on campus in January
  • There is a $65 fee for the screening
  • A TYKE or Kindergarten application must be completed and submitted in order to participate in the screening
SHADOW DAYS:
Students interested in shadowing a current student in his/her grade level may do so upon request, provided the prospective student has a completed application on file.
