Admissions Policy
ADMISSION POLICY
Enrollment applications are accepted beginning each January for the following academic year. St. Catherine of Siena School admits boys and girls of any race, color and national or ethnic origin. This school does not discriminate on the basis of gender, color, race, national or ethnic origin in the administration of its educational and admission policies.
School Admission Priority System
St. Catherine of Siena School was founded in order to provide the children of the parish with an education rooted in Catholic faith and practice. Supporting members of the parish, who are active, practicing Catholics have a primary claim to the benefits of the school for their children. These supporting members of the parish demonstrate their commitment to the parish through weekly contributions and taking an active part in the works of the parish.
Catholics who are supporting, active and practicing members of another Catholic parish, as well as non-Catholics, will be considered for admission on the basis of the following criteria, satisfactory testing scores, and available openings.
a. Siblings of students already attending St. Catherine of Siena School, provided the siblings
have been in attendance one full year, and the family contributes regularly to the parish as
evidenced by Church records and their presence at Church and school sponsored functions.
b. Participating registered members (by longevity) of St. Catherine of Siena Parish who
contribute regularly to the parish as evidenced by Church records.
c. Catholic, active at another parish with sibling enrolled
d. Catholic, active at another parish
e. Catholic, transferring from another Catholic school due to relocation with sibling enrolled
f. Catholic, transferring from another Catholic school due to relocation
g. Catholic, not active in any parish with sibling enrolled
h. Catholic, not active in any parish
i. Non-Catholic with sibling enrolled
j. Non-Catholic
* Admission will be granted first to those families/students that have the highest priority. Only if two or more families/students have the same priority, and the same readiness testing, and are applying for the same opening, will admittance be granted to the family/student with the earliest application date.
A $25.00 non-refundable fee must accompany each application. This fee is paid only once.
