Registration Procedure

Families of new students are encouraged to view the information within the New Student Information section of this site and complete the Request for Information form. School Tours and Shadowing opportunities are available to provide more information about the school.

Registration Forms, Fees and Tuition Deposits must be submitted to the School Office in accordance with the deadlines stated in the Registration Packets in order to be considered for admission. Admission is determined according to the New Student Admission Policy stated below.

All families submitting Registration Forms will be notified of either Admission or, if registrations exceed the capacity of any grade or classroom, Waiting List status.

Tuition Contracts will also be mailed at the time that Admission notification is announced.

Registration Fee and Tuition Deposit

All new families are required to deposit a $100.00 nonrefundable registration fee, plus an advanced tuition payment of $140.00. The $140 Tuition Deposit will be applied to your September Tuition payment. This total of $240.00 is a non-refundable payment per family to be paid at the time of registration.

Registration of your child/children is taken as a serious commitment to St. Dominic School. Payment of this Fee confirms your intention of registering your child/children at St. Dominic School. If your child is put on a Waiting List, your check for $240.00 will be returned to you with notification of your child’s Waiting List status.

Currently enrolled families will be charged an $85.00 nonrefundable per family re-registration fee each year at the time of re-registration. An advanced tuition payment of $140.00 will also be required at the time of re-registration. The $140 Tuition Deposit will be applied toward the September Tuition payment.

Transfer Students

All new students transferring from another school need to present their most recent report card as evidence of their achievement level. When the transfer is not due to a change of address, the student will be enrolled temporarily while the principal contacts the former school for the reasons of the transfer. Upon receiving satisfactory reasons for the transfer, the student is formally enrolled. All transferring students will be on probation for the first semester that they attend St. Dominic School in order to determine if St. Dominic’s educational program can meet the needs of the particular student(s).

Home-School Students

Students entering St. Dominic School from a home school shall be placed in a grade level following an academic assessment determined by the principal. The principal makes the final decision of grade placement.

New Student Admission Policy

St. Dominic School admits students of any race, color, creed and national or ethnic origin.
