Next Steps

Once the applicant has completed the admissions assessment and met with our principal, acceptance to St. Catherine School will be considered based on the following priorities:

• Siblings of Catholic families already enrolled in St. Catherine School.

• Catholic children whose families have been active, registered members of St. Catherine Parish, attending Sunday liturgy regularly, active in parish life, and financially supporting the parish in a recognizable (checks / envelopes) and meaningful manner.

• Catholic children who do not belong to St. Catherine Parish but whose families are active, registered members of other Catholic parishes.

• Non-Catholic families who are willing to participate in the school’s religious education program.

The California Schools in the Diocese of San Jose, mindful of their mission to the love of Christ for all, admit students of any race, color, and national and/or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the schools. The Catholic Schools in the Diocese of San Jose do not unlawfully discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and/or ethnic origin, age, sex or disability in administration of educational policies, scholarship and loan programs, athletic and other school administered programs.
