Admissions Policy

No student shall be denied admission to St. Philip the Apostle School solely on the basis of race, sex, color, national, or ethnic origin.

In order to be eligible for admission to St. Philip the Apostle School, a family must be a registered and active parishioner.

  • Registered means that a written record must be created with the parish secretary when the new family joins the parish. A previously registered family that moves out of the parish and then returns must re-register.

  • Active describes a parishioner who supports the St. Philip the Apostle Faith community through involvement in parish stewardship; time, talent, and treasure. An active parishioner demonstrates stewardship through involvement in parish ministries and through a good faith response to and consistent return of the offertory envelopes. The Pastor in consultation with appropriate parties shall determine whether the active requirement has been met.
