Our Lady of Grace Catholic School is still accepting applications for the 2024-2025 academic year, as space allows. 

Online 2025-2026 open enrollment for new school families will begin on January 26, 2025 and close on February 10. All applications submitted during this time frame will be reviewed by our admissions committee, and decisions will be made by Feb. 14. Applicants after this timeframe will be accepted as space allows. 

Dear prospective families,

We're excited to kick off Catholic Schools Week with new family open enrollment. Registrations will be accepted beginning at 7 a.m. on Sunday, Jan. 26.    

Begin registration by clicking the large button below (only live during open enrollment period).

1. It is helpful to have your child's birth certificate, sacramental records (if applicable) and immunizations ready to upload. If not, those can be emailed to [email protected]. 
2. Standardized test scores and report cards are required for students applying for grades 1-8.  

During registration, you will be asked about opting into our Disciple Scholarship. You can learn more about the Disciple Scholarship below and you should be aware that participation in the scholarship program factors into admissions priorities (see tab above for details).

Disciple Scholarship Information

If you have a preschool student, be sure to select the desired class choice under additional fields within the application. 

We are not currently accepting new applications to our Early Childhood Ministry (ECM) due to an extremely long waitlist.

If you run into any technical issues, please email [email protected]. 

Enrollment is complete once you have submitted all required information. New families will only pay the $315 registration fee AFTER you have been notified of acceptance. You will have two weeks from that point to complete this portion of your registration, or the spot will be offered to the next person on the waitlist.

Sacramental records, immunizations, and other forms can be turned in upon acceptance or uploaded during the registration process. 

Our Lady of Grace Catholic School is blessed to be a thriving environment, with several of our classes at or nearing capacity. Applying to our school does not guarantee acceptance. 

School tuition rates for 2024-2025 are available on our Tuition page.

Historically, a small annual tuition increase is customary. Our school and parish work together to manage tuition rates and any needs for increases.

Admission Policy

Our Lady of Grace Catholic School is a parish school. Priority for admission is given to members of the parish who meet the admission guidelines. We expect parishioners to fully participate in the life of the church through regular attendance, and active stewardship of time, talent, and treasure.
 

Admission Requirements

• Early Childhood Ministry (ECM) students must be at least 12 months and walking
• Preschool Beginner students must be age 3 by Aug. 1
• Pre-K students must be age 4 by Aug. 1
• Kindergarten students must be age 5 by Aug. 1

Students transferring from another school must have successfully completed the prior year in an accredited school in order to be admitted to the next grade level. In addition, transfer students must show their last report card and any testing results completed from the previous year in order to be considered for admission.

Our Lady of Grace Catholic School has a resource program for students with special needs. Parents are required to present an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) upon admission. Failure to disclose an IEP may result in the withdrawal of services. Prior to admitting a student with a diagnosed disability, we consider the following:

• The severity and degree of the disability and the requirements of the IEP
• The level of support needed and any special equipment the student may require
• The number of students with disabilities currently enrolled in an assigned class

Priorities for Admission for the 2025-2026 Academic Year

Our Lady of Grace Catholic School takes seriously the responsibility to discern admission to our school community. Our Admissions Committee prioritizes prayer, a family perspective, and integrity when determining admissions decisions.

Registration for current families takes place during the re-enrollment period, followed by new family registration on Jan. 26. In order to be considered for re-admission or new enrollment, the online registration must be completed and the registration fee must be paid in full. Each year, a priority deadline is set after which first decisions for admission will be made. Following that deadline, open enrollment will continue and admission will be granted based on availability.

Our Admissions Committee discerns enrollment for each family application. The following are principles of our discernment:

1. We desire for students to receive a full K-8 education at Our Lady of Grace. Current students will receive first priority for readmission.
2. We seek to keep families together as a part of our school community, particularly by admitting younger siblings of current students.
3. We value families who work to actively form their Catholic faith, particularly through the Disciple Scholarship or Future Disciple            Scholarship.
4. We look to promote students of families who have participated in Our Lady of Grace Preschool into Kindergarten and above grades.
5. We strive to be an educational option dedicated to parishioners at Our Lady of Grace.
6. We strive to be an educational option for parishioners at other local Catholic parishes.

If families are not initially admitted to Our Lady of Grace Catholic School, they may be added to a waitlist for students through the start of the school year. It is not uncommon that families would be admitted from our waitlist, though it is also not guaranteed.

The best way for Our Lady of Grace families who are new to Our Lady of Grace Catholic School to put themselves in a position for admission is to complete the Future Disciple Scholarship requirements in the year preceding admission. Learn more at ologs.org/disciple.

Availability for Students

Our Lady of Grace Catholic School has been very blessed with many wonderful families joining our community. We are grateful for all the families and students who are enrolled at our school as well as those who desire to do so. However, in order to maintain a high-quality educational environment with reasonable class sizes and within our facility capacity, we must have limits on the number of students who can be enrolled. 

In an effort to be transparent with our families regarding the available spots for students in our preschool and school, we offer the following chart which will be updated during enrollment periods:
