3. Parishioners: Children of families who are registered and supporting parishioners of Saint Paschal Baylon Parish as determined by the Rectory (i.e. application date, regular contributions, etc.).
4. Non-Parishioners: Children will be admitted on a first-come, first-served basis, depending on the available space in the program of your child’s age level.

Prospective parents are encouraged to attend our Preschool Virtual Open House on January 28, 2021. Preschool teachers will share information about the different programs, and parents will have the opportunity to visit classrooms and ask questions.

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.
