Application Process

Stage 1: Initial Documentation
 
To begin the application process, the following forms/documents must be submitted on behalf of each applicant.
 

• Application for Enrollment
• Special Services Form
• Copy of Birth Certificate
• Copy of Baptismal Certificate (If applicable)
• Copy of last report card (Grades 1 - 8)
• Copy of all Standardized Test Scores (Grades 2 - 8)
  • MAP or other relevant state assessments

 
Stage 2: Review Process
 
Once the above documentation has been submitted, the Admissions Team will review the application based on St. Columbkille School admissions criteria, specifically seeking students who are successful in their current academic environments; who conduct themselves in a manner that fits with the St. Columbkille School behavioral standards; and whose parents/guardians are invested in the education process.  If the team deems that the applicant meets the above criteria, the applicant will be contacted to complete:
 

• Shadow Visit (Grades K - 8)
• Placement Assessment through NWEA MAP
• Interview with Pastor, Principal, and/or Administrative Team

 

Stage 3: Enrollment Decision

After the student has completed the previous steps, the application will be evaluated and an enrollment decision will be made. It is possible that a student may be put on a waitlist for classes that are at or near capacity, as Parish families have first priority in cases where class space is limited. In any event, families can expect to hear back from St. Columbkille School within 2 weeks of completing the review process.
 
 
Stage 4: Enrollment

Once a student is accepted, the following items are required in order to enroll in St. Columbkille School.
 

• Registration/Technology fee of $340 per student for PreK-8th grade (non-refundable)
• Registration fee of $150 per student for 3-year-old Preschool Program (non-refundable)
