• Applicant will take an age-appropriate admissions test.
• The admissions committee will consider all of the available information regarding the applicant and will determine his/her eligibility for admission.

On the basis of character, academic records and promise, as well as the results of testing, the student will be admitted if there is availability in the appropriate grade level.

You will be informed of your child’s eligibility for enrollment upon completion of all the application requirements by enrollment time or as classroom space becomes available.  If a child is not accepted due to space limitations, the admission file will be placed in a wait pool for the applicable school year.  In the event space becomes available during the year, your child’s application will be considered at that time.  

St. Matthew Catholic School admits students of any race or national origin to programs and activities of the school with all rights and privileges. This policy is in compliance with Title VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title IX of Education Amendments of 1972.

***Important: All applications that are submitted to St. Matthew Catholic School are given consideration. An opening in your child’s grade does not always guarantee acceptance. The admission process is designed to provide the right match between prospective students and St. Matthew Catholic School. A number of factors are considered in each admission decision including the review of academic records, the review of behavior and conduct records, teacher and principal recommendations, assessment results, and interviews.
