School Tours
Tours of the school will not be available this year due to the pandemic. However scheduled Zoom meetings with, Mrs. Oriti, our principal, are available. Please contact the School Office at 216.662.9380 for zoom meeting dates.
Initial documentation
To begin the application process please read and submit the following forms/documents on behalf of each applicant.
Review Process
The admission will review the application once all of the above documentation has been submitted. To be considered for admission we look for students who are successful in their current academic environments; who conduct themselves in a manner fitting with the St. Benedict Catholic School behavioral standards; and whose parents/guardians are invested in the education process. Applicants meeting these criteria will be invited to continue in the application process with the following steps
Principal Meeting
The school principal, Mrs. Lisa Oriti, will host scheduled Zoom meetings with each applicant and family, during which you can ask questions and get an in-depth look at the opportunities a St. Benedict Catholic School education can offer your child. Please call the office for Zoom meetings dates.
Screening
Applicants for Grades 1 through 8 take a grade level entrance assessment specifically designed to assess aptitude in Language Arts and Math.
Student Visit
Students applying for Grades 2 to 8 spend a day shadowing via Zoom in the classroom of their peers. This enables the incoming students to get a feel for life at St. Benedict Catholic School, and allows the teachers to get a sense of the new student’s personality and learning style.
Enrollment Decision
After the student has completed the above steps, the application will be evaluated and an enrollment decision will be made. As a Catholic school, our priority is to first select qualified candidates of Catholic faith. It is possible that a student may be put on a wait list for classes that are at or near capacity, and parish families have first priority in cases where class space is limited.
Registration
If your child is accepted, you will receive a packet of registration materials that must be completed and submitted to the school office, along with a $150 Technology Fee, to secure your space.
