• For incoming Kindergarten students, give the Preschool Recommendation Form to your child’s preschool. For grades 1 – 8, submit copies of your child’s report cards from the past two years from their current school.

Assessment for your child

• Incoming Kindergarten Assessments:
  A child must be five years old by September 1st to be eligible for Saint Monica School’s Kindergarten Class. After an application has been submitted, an appointment for the Kindergarten Readiness Assessment will be scheduled. Kindergarten acceptances and enrollment are based on a rolling admissions process.
• Incoming 1st – 8th grade Assessments:
  We accept applications for new and mid-year transfer students to our 1st-8th grades throughout the school year. Once an application is submitted, the respective grade-level teacher(s) will schedule and administer an assessment of academic readiness. Acceptance is based on space available, the assessment, and the review of the principal and respective teachers.

  Families may request a tour of the school after school hours while their child is being assessed.

• Shadow Visits:
  Once your child’s complete application has been submitted, an all day shadow visit is highly recommended. We will contact you to schedule a visit. Shadow visits are available to students applying for grades 1-8.

Eligibility for Enrollment

At Saint Monica School, the developmental and behavioral age of the child is a strong factor in considering acceptance. The developmental age is an assessment at which the child is functioning as a total person: emotionally, intellectually, physically and socially. The prospective student must be able to understand and speak English proficiently. The priority for acceptance in each grade level is:

1. Sibling of current student
2. Catholic student
3. Non-Catholic student
