Prior to an acceptance decision being made, students must complete both application steps. You may complete these steps in any order you prefer so long as everything is completed by January 8th

Step 1- Take your Official Visit!

This year, visiting St. Mary's Prep will look a little bit different than in previous years, but we assure that your visit will special and created just for you! Families may sign up for an Official Visit which will replace a traditional shadow day, parent tour, and Open House experience. ​

* if you choose not to take an official visit, a Zoom interview with the Dean or Director of Admissions will be required prior to acceptance*

Step 2- Complete the Application

All students are required to complete an online application prior to acceptance. There are three sections to a student's application:​

• Initial application portion completed by the student & parents
• Teacher recommendation- to be completed by a current 8th grade teacher.
• Transcripts/grades- parents are required to submit a transcript request form to their child's school counselor to request transcripts be sent.

All of the above steps are included with the application account that you will create for your applicant. Please be sure to read each of the steps as they are very detailed.

Parents are required to request the teacher recommendation and transcripts- we cannot request them on your behalf.

• 9th grade applicants must submit a minimum of their 1st quarter 8th grade grades
• Transfer students must contact admissions before beginning an application
• Applications for the class of next school year will be accepted starting October 1,.

please do not begin an application before October 1,.

Applicants Requiring Academic Accommodations

If the applicant is on a current documented and supported IEP, 504 or another form of an accommodation plan, please contact Candace Castiglione, Dean of Admissions to discuss the applicant. It is important that our staff discusses the applicant’s accommodation plan, so that we may further be aware of the specialized needs of the student. Our priority is to ensure the academic success of every prospective student and having these conversations first is a wonderful way to start.
