Admissions

One form, a few records, and a conversation. That is the whole application.

Holy Spirit School admits students all year, as seats allow. There is no deadline to miss and no application fee to lose — but PreK–3 and PreK–4 fill first, and the earlier a family starts, the more choice they have about the schedule.

Admissions & applying

Ask about applying

Ask about available places, registration, or the next steps. Only the phone number is optional.

Tell us your child’s age or grade and the school year you are considering.

We use these details only to reply to you.

How to enroll

Three steps, and we walk you through each one

Registration information
01Start here

Visit on a school day

Tours run every Tuesday morning through the school year. You will see real classrooms mid‑lesson, not a staged open house. Come before you fill anything in.

Pick a Tuesday → →Tuesday mornings
02Step two

Send the application

One form, your child’s records, and the Baptismal certificate where it applies. Send the office a message and we will send you everything you need, in the order you need it.

03Step three

Settle the tuition

Choose a payment schedule, ask about parish rates and aid, and we handle uniforms, lunch and child care before the first bell. Tuition is billed over 12 months.

What to have ready

Gather these once, and the rest is a phone call.

Nothing here is unusual, and nothing has to arrive all at once. Send what you have, and the office will tell you what is still outstanding — no family has ever been turned away for a missing form.

Homeschooling families: bring the work your child has done. Placement looks at what your child knows, not only the year they were born.

When to apply

There is no deadline. There is a queue.

Admission is rolling, so an application is considered when it arrives. What changes through the year is how much room is left — and in the preschool years, that is the whole question.

PreK–3 and PreK–4The smallest classes and the first to fill. Families who want a specific schedule — five full days, or three half days — should ask early.
KindergartenRegistration opens in the winter for the following September, and preschool families are placed first.
Grades 1 to 8Seats open through the year as families move. Ask any month; a mid‑year start is normal here.
Before you ask

The things families ask on the phone.

If your question is not here, it is the kind we would rather answer in person. Call the office, or send a message and we will call you back.

Do we have to be Catholic?

No.

Families of every background are welcome, and always have been. Religion is taught every day and students attend Mass and Adoration with the school — we are clear about that from the first conversation, not the last.

Do we have to be parishioners?

No, but it changes the rate.

Families registered at Holy Spirit Parish pay less than the published rates. The office will tell you exactly what your year looks like either way.

What if tuition is the problem?

Say so, early.

Parish rates, multi‑child discounts, awards and payment schedules exist for this. Ask for the principal, and the conversation stays between you and the principal.
