Written guidelines, established after a broad consultation process, are used in the admission procedure. These guidelines allow for valid exceptions to admission priorities.
Catholic students who have been in Catholic schools are given priority in admission.
No student is refused solely because of inability to pay the tuition.
The school seeks to identify students in true financial need and tries to find ways to increase tuition assistance through grants and work study programs.
While standardized test scores are used in the evaluation of applicants, high scores are not the sole or primary criterion for admission.
Directors of admissions ask the assistance of Catholic elementary school principals in evaluating students from their schools; they also cooperate with local Church officials and diocesan guidelines.
The school is open to students of all races and nationalities.
No student is offered admission solely for athletic reasons. No special financial, academic or transportation considerations are given to any student because of athletic ability.
