Admissions FAQ - St Pius X Catholic School

Our admissions process allows us to meet families with curious and motivated students who would benefit from a St. Pius education and contribute to our community. We’ll get to know each other through the admissions process, which includes a school tour, application, a placement assessment, optional current student shadowing, and ultimately enrollment.

We create an educational experience that shapes eager students into purposeful, ethical, independent learners. Your child has unique gifts and talents that can be shaped and served by our community. We would love to meet your family!

Is there a deadline to apply?

No, we offer rolling admissions! We recommend that you submit your application early to ensure that your child has a place in his or her class. We begin accepting admissions for a school year on the preceding February 1.

Is admissions testing required?

St. Pius conducts a placement assessment for all new students applying for admission. There is a $100 fee for the assessment.

Do you offer after and before school care?

Extended Care is offered to all students. Before School Care is from 7:15 to 8:00 AM, and After School Care is from 3:15 to 5:30 PM. In After School Care, children complete homework and enjoy supervised, unstructured play.

Does St. Pius offer tuition assistance?

Yes! We are happy to offer need-based tuition assistance. FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment is an outside company that completes a financial need analysis for our families. Any student who is seeking financial assistance must first apply to and be accepted by St. Pius X Catholic School.
