Parent Visit
We like to have the chance to meet with parents in order to explain the advantages of our program as well as familiarize you with the specifics of our school day. It is also a time for you to see the classroom where your child would be spending the majority of his or her day. We want each prospective family to learn as much as possible about St. Paul’s in order to make the best decision for their children.
Information Packet
Many families want to be able to take home written information about our school. Our information packet includes information about the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program and an informational booklet about each of the classes at St. Paul’s School. Admissions and tuition information are included as well. If you are not able to schedule a tour, we would be glad to send you the written packet in the mail.
Application
Applications are accepted up to two years prior to desired enrollment. Preferential treatment is given to siblings of currently enrolled students, to parishioners of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, and to St. Paul’s Episcopal School alumni. The deadline for these preferences is December 31 of the calendar year prior to desired enrollment year.
To place your child on the waiting list for his or her class, return the application with the application fee.
Student screening ~ If you are applying for preschool, no screening is required. If your child has attended another school, we request a teacher recommendation. For students entering Kindergarten and up, each child may be given an age appropriate standardized test. For Kindergarten, the assessment will cover developmental readiness. For grades 1-6 the material will cover subject matter in reading and math. Each student will also do some writing and oral reading. Testing will be performed by school personnel.
References ~ A student referral form will be sent to your child’s current school/daycare. You may help us in our process by asking the director/teacher to return the form promptly. Student records may also be requested. The Admissions Committee must receive the teacher recommendation form, along with report cards and transcripts (if applicable), in order for the admissions process to continue.
