        Frequently Asked Questions for Catholic Schools

        No — While our curriculum does include a focus on spiritual education according to Christian values, our Catholic schools accept students regardless of their race, backgrounds, or belief systems. We believe that accessing quality education should be easily available for all children and families in the community.

        We encourage all parents who are interested in enroling their child into one of our Catholic schools to contact the school directly to find out more about the specific enrolment process involved. For secondary schools, group information sessions may be held to provide prospective parents and students with information regarding the school and what it has to offer.

        As part of the enrolment process, parents and students will need to fill out and submit an Enrolment Application Form to the school, which will then contact them for a further interview to meet with the applicants. After the interview, schools will contact applicants to inform them of the decision for enrolment.
