Admission Procedures                            

  • Pre-Enrollment application
  • Visitation and teacher observation
  • Testing
  • Admission committee review for formal acceptance

Admission is not considered final until all school records are received, reviewed, and accepted by the Admission Committee.

Subject to the discretion of the Pastor and the Principal, no student may be admitted to Shrine of the Sacred Heart School who has been expelled or asked to withdraw from any other school for a criminal offense, misdemeanor, or for any offense which would result in expulsion or a request to withdraw from The Shrine.

Probationary Period

All new students are on a first year probationary period.  Each student's academic and behavioral progress is evaluated at the end of each marking period to determine if the student should remain at Shrine of the Sacred Heart School.

During this one-year period the behavior and academic progress of the new student will be observed.  To properly satisfy the behavioral and academic needs of all students, the needs of the new students must be compatible with the currently available resources of the school.  Students whose behavioral and academic needs are beyond the resources of The Shrine will be advised to seek help satisfying those needs. The Administration reserves the power to extend this probationary period for an additional year if necessary.

The goal of our educational program is to meet the needs of each child.   If the learning differences of the student are beyond the professional expertise of the faculty or adversely affect the learning environment, the administration will meet with the parents to discuss the best placement for the child.
