How to Apply

Step 1: Complete an Application

New applications are submitted through the online application portal. This portal will become available in November for the 2021-2022 school year. In the portal, parents will create student and family profiles, upload required documents, and pay the application fee of $125.

Remember to bookmark the Application Portal page as applicant families will need to periodically log in and check the Admissions Progress Status link to see if any element is incomplete, has not been received, or requires additional action.

Step 2: Provide Email Addresses for Current Teacher Evaluations

In addition to the online application, your child's current teacher and current principal/director will need to complete an online referral to complete the application process. As you fill out your application, you will need to provide your current teacher(s) and current principal/director email addresses. The current teacher and principal/director will complete the online referrals that will be submitted directly to St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic School.

Upper School applicants for 3rd-8th will need to submit referral information for both math and English. If your child only has the same teacher for math and English you will need to enter his or her information twice.

Step 3: Schedule Assessments and Shadow Days

Individual Assessments

Students applying to K-8th grade will schedule a student assessment on:

Saturday February 6th
(PK applicants do not test.)

Shadow Days

Students applying to 4th - 8th grade will schedule to shadow on one of the following days:

Tuesday, February 9th
Wednesday, February 10th
Tuesday, February 16th
Thursday, February 18th

Shadow Days may be amended or postponed due to COVID-19 policies and protocols.
