How to Apply
Step 1: Application
Enrollment applications are completed online, and the application for the 2027-2028 school year is live now.
Applications that are submitted by December 1st are considered in the first wave of admissions. After that date, applications are processed as space allows. You will be contacted if space becomes available.
If you need more information, please contact the Admissions Office at admissions@mystpcs.org.
Step 2: Snapshot Informational Tour
Our Snapshot Tours are designed to provide parents with the best possible opportunity to "get to know" Saint Patrick. The tour serves as an introduction to our curriculum that is structured around the intentional total formation of every student. Parents will hear directly from our students as they describe their growth and formation during their time at Saint Patrick.
It is preferred that parents attend a Snapshot during the admissions process to give families a greater understanding of our school's mission and to help generate questions for further discussion.
Step 3: Family Interview
When your application is received by the Admissions Office, you will be able to self schedule a family interview on your student's Admissions Checklist. If you apply after December 1st, we will contact you to schedule an interview if space is available in your desired grade level.
Your interview with the Director of Admissions will serve as an opportunity to develop your understanding of the Saint Patrick Catholic School philosophy. It will also allow us to begin a dialog of parent collaboration that is the cornerstone of our belief that parents are the primary educators.
Plan to spend approximately 60 minutes during this visit. Before the interview, be sure to pay the $75 application fee. Bring the following documents to the Family Interview:
- Applicant’s original birth certificate
- Parent Student Survey - Student's Page Only
- If applicable, please upload or bring a copy of any educational/OT/PT/speech evaluations.
