Ste Jeanne d'Arc School's practice is to admit children based on the following procedure:

• Parent submits application form; at this point there is no financial commitment. Click here to download the Application for Admission form that can be mailed directly to us. If you prefer, you may call the school for an admissions package which includes a brochure and fact sheet.
• As openings occur for the following school year, parents who have applied are contacted to determine if they are still interested in registering. Formal registrations are held during Catholic Schools Week at the end of January. At this evening registration meeting, the principal provides parents with all program and financial information they need to enroll their child. At that time a registration deposit is required, and paperwork (medical information, sacramental records, birth certificate, family data, etc.) is collected.

Transfer Students

• Students in grades 1-7 are accepted on a space-available basis following our re-registration of current students in early February.
• Appointments can be made for the child to visit the school and spend some time with students at the appropriate grade level. Younger children are usually accompanied by a parent; older students may spend an entire day with their prospective classmates.

Children are accepted at Ste Jeanne d'Arc School solely on the basis of available space. The student body is heterogeneous as to gender, socioeconomic mix, race, and creed. We do not attempt to pre-determine a child's academic potential and promise before acceptance. It is our philosophy to educate each child taking into consideration his/her individual needs and to work with individual potential.

We are not equipped, however, to deal with serious learning disabilities and cannot accept children who require some special services that we do not offer.

Kindergarten students must be five years old by September 1st of the year they begin school. Students who will be five by December 31st may apply for admission and will be evaluated on a case by case basis. Kindergarten applicants are rejected only on the basis of space availability. Transfer students may be rejected on the basis of space or special needs that we cannot meet. The final admissions decision is made by the principal.

Open House

An annual Open House is held the first Sunday of Catholic Schools Week at the end of January and is advertised in the local newspaper. Personal invitations to the Open House are mailed to each family that has expressed interest in the school during the past year. Our Open House is scheduled for the last Sunday in January.
