We offer a “Sneak Peek” at the end of January for interested students in K-8.  The Sneak Peek offers parents an opportunity for a school tour, a question and answer session, and light refreshments. In February, parents of interested students in grades 1-8 can schedule a meeting with the principal that will include a tour of the school and explanation of online enrollment.  This typically lasts one hour.  If you are interested in having your child shadow for the day, arrangements can be made for that day.  Complete the online registration/enrollment process and submit a $225 per student application fee which is non-refundable.  This fee is required for all students and is applied toward the technology program and playground supervision fees. Open registration is completed following priority registration for our current families.

Our current enrollment is 358 students in Preschool through grade 8. We have 293 students in kindergarten through grade 8.

The average class size is 17 students in grades K-8 with two classes per grade level.

The school’s curriculum is based on the curriculum of the Diocese of Cleveland. The curriculum for the Diocese of Cleveland flows from the philosophy and goals of Catholic education, infuses the Social Justice Teachings of the Church, the Rights of Children, Catholic faith and values, and are aligned with the Ohio Learning Standards.  The Diocesan curriculum is approved by the Ohio Catholic School Accrediting Association and by the Ohio Department of Education.
