The ADMISSIONS PROCESS
When a student is admitted to St. Catherine’s, we utilize all available resources to maximize their chances of success. We welcome individuals of all faiths and backgrounds, and we promote diversity and respect within our community.
A unique aspect of our application process is it opens the fall of a student’s eighth grade year, with early decisions going out in late-February, which may be different or early for families not familiar with the parochial school enrollment process.
ADMISSIONS CHECKLISTS
Our enrollment process differs between current Siena Catholic Schools (SCS) students and students new to Siena Catholic Schools. Locate the Admissions Checklist that applies to your child(ren) below.
