Archdiocese of Washington schools may not discriminate on the basis of any legally protected status, including race, sex (unless traditionally a single-sex school), or national origin.

School administration reserves the right to place students in a class consistent with the results of the student’s prior academic records and admissions testing.

A lack of available spots may require a waiting list to be established. In such a case, when all admissions criteria are equally met, a waiting list will be generated for each class, based on those families meeting the admission criteria outlined above.

Attending an open house or scheduling a separate meeting with the Admissions Coordinator is encouraged but not required.

We welcome the diversity brought to our school community by the presence of non-Catholic students. Non-Catholic students are expected to participate in the religious education programs of the school and attend school Mass and other religious functions held during the school day.

If transferring from another Archdiocese of Washington school, the applicant may not apply until the principal consults with the principal from the former school to ensure no behavioral/safety concerns exist and all financial obligations are current. The applicant may not enroll until all financial obligations at the former school have been resolved.

All students entering Pre-Kindergarten must be toilet trained. This is a condition of acceptance into the Pre-K program. No diapers or pull-ups are allowed.
