Admissions

Acceptance Policy

Admission is based upon submission of an application for enrollment (including all required documentation), student visit, and a review conducted by our principal. Kindergarten applicants who are new to the school will be screened for Kindergarten readiness. Saint Paul’s does not accept students going into their 8th grade year with the possible exception of a family’s relocation. Any student who is new to Saint Paul School will be placed on a thirty (30) day probationary period from date of entry into the school. The purpose of this probationary period is to ensure that Saint Paul School can provide appropriately for the educational needs of the student. Saint Paul School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, ancestry, national or ethnic origin, or gender.

It is recommended that a student be three years old (for Pre-K3 program), four years old (for Pre-K4 program) and age five (for Kindergarten) as of Oct. 15th of the year enrolled; however, consideration will be given to children whose birthdays are in November and December based on the results of a preliminary assessment by the Preschool and Kindergarten staff in the spring before entering school in the fall. All students need to be fully toilet trained prior to the beginning of the school year. In reviewing applications, families with children currently attending Saint Paul School have first priority, with consideration given to the following: Saint Paul Church registered and active parishioners; students from other Catholic parishes; students who are displaced from other Catholic schools; students whose parents/guardians are alumni of the school; families enrolling more than one child; and students who are not affiliated with a Catholic parish.

Decisions regarding acceptance will be made in accordance with the above considerations, as well as the enrollment priorities of the school
