St. Finn Barr Catholic School invites you to consider our school for the education of your child. Admissions for the 2024-2025 school year is under way now. Please refer to the "Admissions Process" section below for details on how to schedule a visit.

We offer competitive tuition and many opportunities for students in grades K-8 to excel and achieve – a quality academic program, physical education, musical enrichment, art, religious instruction, sports and athletics, a student garden, diversity in culture and ethnicity, and a safe, family-friendly environment.

Siblings and parishioners are given first priority in admissions. All other families are considered based upon date of application and familial commitment to the shared endeavor of education.

  • Assessment
    • Kindergarten applicants: Kindergarten applicants are assessed 1:1 with our Kindergarten teacher during Kindergarten Assessment Day (Jan). Applicants must be 5 years old by September 1st and are welcome to apply throughout the year -- as new families are welcomed based upon availability. All Kindergarten assessments are by appointment only, scheduled for students who have an application on file.
    • 1st-8th grade applicants: The Shamrock Shadow Day (typically a full day on campus for students already in grade K-7) allows the student to gain a better sense of the learning environment and culture of the school, while also providing the classroom teachers with the opportunity to assess their learning needs.
  • Registration: Once the acceptance decision has been made, families are formally invited to register. The priority registration period opens in February. Classroom positions are secured by the remittance of a $550 non-refundable registration fee, and students are ready to attend once their full registration packets (transcripts, immunizations, tuition, etc.) have been completed.
  • Orientation: Once new families have registered, they are oriented to the school through the New Parent Orientation in August just before the start of the year.

We look forward to welcoming you!
