Only those children will be admitted to kindergarten who have reached their fifth birthday by August 31st, and to the first grade who have reached their sixth birthday by the same date.

Any students admitted will be expected to observe the following conditions:

  • That they will participate in all religion classes, fulfilling all required work.
  • That they follow the school schedule, including Holy Mass and other religious functions.

Marian Congregational Schools are not schools for all students. The principal will interview parents seeking enrollment for their children.

 

Any student seeking admission to Marian Congregational Schools may be required to take a placement test.

 

Children qualified for special education needs in any category, including learning disabilities, speech and/or language impairments, mental illness/retardation, behavior disorder, visual/hearing/physical and/or other health impairments, will be admitted only at the discretion of the administration. At any time the administration may revoke admittance for students considered inappropriate for the setting.

 

Furthermore, children who are experiencing difficulty in learning will be admitted on probation; parents will be expected to cooperate in remedying the difficulty at the discretion of the teacher. If the requirements are not fulfilled, the child will be dismissed.

 

Children already admitted who are experiencing difficulty in learning will also be subject to the above probation and/or dismissal.
