St. John's is dedicated to providing an enriched academic program that emphasizes the development of each child's potential within a caring and Christian environment. We are delighted that you are interested in applying. The admission process consists of the following:
INQUIRY
First, submit an inquiry form. We will reach out to schedule a tour of campus and answer any initial questions you may have. Please submit an official inquiry before applying to St. John's.
Campus Tour
Request an in-person school tour to learn more about the School and its distinctive features and curriculum and tour the facilities. All in-person tours are by appointment. You can also explore St. John’s from home using our Virtual Campus Tour that’s available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
SCHEDULE A TOUR
Application for Admission
After submitting an inquiry, and touring the School, our admissions director will send you the link to our New Student Application. You’ll need to complete the New Student Application and submit a non-refundable application fee of $125 with the following:
- Student health inventory and immunization records
- Copy of a birth certificate
- Release for past scholastic records when applicable for students in Pre-K 4 through 5th grade
The school observes the state-adopted cutoff date of five years of age on or before September 1st of the school year for entrance to Kindergarten. EPK programs adhere to this as well.
Academic Readiness Assessment/Family Interview
Each applicant entering PreK 4 through 5th grade requires an evaluation by the Admission Committee to determine proper grade placement. This committee will take into account the student's level of achievement; his/her chronological age; and other social, physiological and developmental considerations.
Upon receipt of an application, we will reach out to schedule a 15-minute assessment after school.
We understand St. John's is a financial commitment, as well as an important decision to make for your child. We want to insure we are the best fit for your family. Every applicant will participate in a Family interview with our admissions committee. This is to learn more about your family and to answer any additional questions you may have.
St. John's Episcopal School’s programs are designed to teach the academically able student. Our staff and our facilities provide the opportunity to administer to individual needs; however, we are unable to adequately meet the needs of children who are physically, emotionally, or intellectually challenged.
Admission Decision
After the family interview and assessment, an admissions decision will be made. Decisions will be sent out within a week of the Family Interview.
Upon acceptance, an enrollment contract and deposit must be completed to ensure your child’s place in the class and returned within two weeks of receipt.
Acceptance of admission to St. John's Episcopal School will be probationary for a period of no less than four weeks and no more than 18 weeks to determine whether a child's needs can be met by the academic program at St. John's.
St. John's Episcopal School shall admit students of any sex, race, color, religion or national or ethnic origin, to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at St. John's Episcopal School.
Enrollment Registration
New students who have submitted an application and have been accepted can enroll in the upcoming school year beginning on March 20, 2023. Starting at 7 AM on the morning enrollment opens, enrollment instructions will be emailed to applicants in the order applications were received.
