  • The school enrollment process begins in January for the subsequent academic year. 
    The enrollment policy generally groups applicants into one of several categories: currently enrolled children, siblings, new parishioner children and nonparishioner children.
     
  • Parents are invited to pick up an application package at the school office starting the first week of school in January. The registration package includes a letter describing the programs offered and the application process, the relevant application forms, tuition information, a statement of the School's Enrollment Policy, and a Verification of Parish Membership Form.  Note:  Only parishioners are asked to fill out this form and leave at the school office.
     
  • Completed application forms plus an application fee are due the last week in January.
     
    • Prior to the processing of applications, the Verification of Parish Membership Forms are completed by the Financial Office, showing the parishioners initial membership date and years of recorded financial support tot the parish.  The complete forms are returned to parishioners for their review.  This is the opportunity for the parishioner to confirms the accuracy of the parish records.  With the information on these forms finalized, the Financial Office prepares a seniority  list, ranking parish families first by number of years of financial support and second by initial membership date.  The director then factor this seniority list into the enrollment process.
       
  • Parents are notified of enrollment results in early February.  Parents must respond by March 1 with an advance tuition payment. Click here for TUITION policy and fee schedule.
  • Registration will be permitted in cases of missed deadlines, but the application will be considered only AFTER all others applying for the same vacancy in all categories, the only exception being families moving or transferring into the Parish. The children of these families will be put on the Parish waiting list (category D).
  • In all cases, the tuition schedule of payments will be observed. If the advance tuition payment due in March is not made on time, that child's space will be forfeited. In the event of special or extenuating circumstances, any final decision will be made by the Rector of Saint Luke's Parish in consultation with Director of the Parish School.

Based on our educational mission, class composition is primarily determined by gender and chronological age with preference given to parishioners. Click here for priority of enrollment and more on Admissions Policy.
