Saint Philip School makes quality education a reality as we teach truth, build community and inspire service…where students grow confidently to their individual, spiritual, and intellectual potential. Children of all ages engage in many exciting activities to help them develop awareness of themselves, their connection with others as members of a larger community, and of their special relationship with God. By fostering a loving and nurturing environment, we assist parents in developing in their children a Christian way of life based on Christ’s invitation to always do the loving thing.
Our Open Enrollment period officially begins at the end of January, immediately following our Catholic Schools Week open house, though we begin accepting applications for the upcoming school year in November. Due to consistently high interest, an early application deadline will be set each year for applicants who would like to be considered in our first round of acceptances. Waitlists will be determined at that time. If space is still available in any particular grade, admissions will continue on a ‘rolling’ basis.
Interested families should contact the admissions office at 949-1130, ext. 118 for specific information about enrollment/availability. You can also click here to contact us via email. In addition, all prospective parents participate in an informational tour as well as a family interview with our Principal. Admission to Grades K through 8 is based on recommendations, academic record, and the grade-level assessments.
In order to successfully complete the application process, all families must:
– Create an online Admissions Account to submit a current application and all required supporting documents (requirements vary, depending on age)
- Parent Questionnaire (all applicants)
- Teacher recommendation forms (all applicants coming from a previous academic institution or daycare)
- Birth Certificate (all applicants)

If your family is invited to move forward in the admissions process, the next steps will be as follows:
– Admissions Screening

- Parent meeting with administration (all applicants)
- Student shadow day (Grades 2-8, or as determined by administration)
* Acceptances will be determined upon the completion of a successful admissions screening.
Saint Philip School admits qualified students of any race, color, gender, ethnicity, national origin, or disability (if reasonable accommodations can be assumed by the school). Enrollment is open to children from all faith traditions, Catholic and non-Catholic alike. Parents submit an admissions application and applicants complete grade-level specific assessments.
