Prospective Student Application Process for School Year 2026-2027
Thank you for choosing St. Anthony de Padua Catholic School! We will work with you to make the enrollment process easy and efficient. Please follow these steps, and let us know if you have any questions.
Step 1: Attend Open House or Family Information Night
We request that all families visit our school prior to applying for enrollment. Click the link hereto pre-register for our Open House on Sunday, February 7 or one of our Family Information Nights. We look forward to meeting you!
Step 2: Submit an Enrollment Application
Enrollment applications (one for each child) are submitted online, along with the student’s birth certificate and Baptismal certificate (if applicable). Note: The link to the online enrollment application will be provided in the information packet received at Open House or one of our Family Information Nights.
Step 3: Application Fee Payment
Payment of the non-refundable $250 application fee is required before applications will be processed and/or reviewed for acceptance. Payment will be made through a FACTS Payment Plan account.
Step 4: Academic Records Submission
To enable us to receive your child's academic records for review, a Pre-Enrollment Referral Form must be submitted to your child’s current school office (if applicable).
Step 5: Academic Screening & Records Review
Academic screening for grades K-8 may be requested and administered if prior testing scores are unavailable or do not reflect a student’s current skill set.
Application materials, academic records, and test scores will be reviewed to ensure that we understand the needs of your family. At any point, we may request a conversation or meeting with the student and parents to review or discuss questions about the application. This is particularly important with junior high students.pla
Step 6: Notice of Enrollment Determination
After a records review, you will receive a formal enrollment determination. If applicable, next steps for enrollment, including scholarship information and additional documentation needed, will also be communicated.
Upon enrollment acceptance, please contact child’s previous school to withdraw your child, so that we may request complete official records.
Nondiscrimination Statement
Diocesan schools follow and promote an open enrollment policy accepting students without regard to color, race, gender, or national origin, and reasonably accommodate the disabled in the educational programs.
