Admissions Policy

Students are admitted to Saint Monica School on an annual basis.  Continuance at Saint Monica School for each successive year will be based on attitude, behavior, adherence to school policies, academic achievement and the ability of the school to meet the child’s needs.

Saint Monica School’s admission policy is consistent with the Archdiocesan Policy of Non-Discrimination. Non-Catholic students are required to participate in Religion classes along with the other students.  All students, including non-Catholic students, are required to attend liturgies and prayer services along with the rest of the student body.  Saint Monica School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed or sex.

St. Monica School has open enrollment.  You may fill out an application at any time.  There will be an Open House during Catholic Schools Week in late January/early February.

Please note:  Parents desiring their child to receive First Holy Communion with the St. Monica School second grade class, should have their child baptized before they enter second grade.  After the age of seven, the child will be required to attend the RCIC (rite of Christian Initiation for Children) Program before they can be Baptized and receive First Holy Communion.
