St. Francis School - Admissions Process
St. Francis School offers students the opportunity for excellence in achievement without exclusivity in admissions. Admission to St. Francis is based on the school’s ability to meet each child’s needs. We strive to cultivate an educational environment that creates opportunities for individual students to achieve excellence to the best of their abilities.
St. Francis School practices a non-discriminatory admissions policy, admitting students of any race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or ethnic origin — to all the rights, privileges, educational programs, and school activities offered to all St. Francis students.
The admissions process is highly personalized, with an emphasis on determining the best fit between the St. Francis educational environment and the individual needs of your child.
We welcome the opportunity to meet with you to share more about St. Francis School. To learn more about the school, please email [email protected] or complete our online inquiry form.
The best way to learn about St. Francis is to attend an Admissions Open House. Join us then to learn about our people, programs, and purpose. Following a presentation, families can tour the campus. Please register for an upcoming Open House here.
Open Houses are generally held on the second Tuesday of each month from 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM.
Apply
Complete and submit an online inquiry. Once an online inquiry has been submitted you will be sent information and directions for completing an online application via our Blackbaud Wolfpack Portal system.
Please complete your application via our WolfPack Portal system and submit a $50 application fee. A completed admissions file includes the online application with the application fee, a copy of all educational testing your child may have received, past school records (report cards, standardized testing scores, etc.), and teacher recommendation forms. All forms can be uploaded to the Wolfpack Portal Admissions Checklist.
St. Francis School does not require an entrance examination as part of the admissions process.
Student Visit
Our team will review each student’s application and records. A member of our team will reach out to you with the next steps regarding a shadow visit and answer any questions you may have.
Feedback/Decisions
The admissions committee carefully reviews all admissions documentation and feedback following each student’s shadow visit. Additional information may be requested from parents/caregivers at this time. A member of our team will reach out to you following your student’s shadow visit to schedule a feedback call and share more information about the visit. St. Francis School welcomes students throughout the school year, provided there is space available in the desired grade level. Enrollment for the subsequent school year will be available for accepted students beginning in early March.
