 St. Benedict Admissions for 2012-13 School Year  

What all parents should know...

Current Families with Siblings (Including Preschool) 

Applications are currently being accepted for students new to St. Benedict Preparatory School and have a sibling in the school, grades PS -12.  Current school families get priority placement at SBPS.  However, we do require an application for a student new to the school.  We have currently have more preschool applications than we do available spaces, so if you are a current school family and intend to have your child attend our preschool next year, it is CRITICAL that you turn in your preschool application by January 24, 2012. A $50 application fee is required.  Click here for a preschool application  or an elementary school application.  You can also pick up applications at the preschool or elementary school offices.  If you have any questions or would like a tour of the elementary or preschool, contact Janet Olson, Mission Advancement Associate, at 773-509-3814 or jolson@stbenedict.com.

 

Kindergarten 2012-2013

We will soon open registration for our current preschool families and parishioner families to enroll their children in the Kindergarten program for the 2012-2013 school year.  Current preschool families and parish families get priority placement for kindergarten.  However, we ask that current preschool families complete a Kindergarten Registration Intent Form by January 24, 2012.  This form will help avoid the frustration over the possible lack of space in our kindergarten classrooms for the next school year.  There is no additional application fee for current preschool families.  Intent forms will be sent home directly to parents of preschool students who will be eligible to attend   If you have any questions or would like a tour of the elementary school, contact Janet Olson, Mission Advancement Associate, at 773-509-3814 or jolson@stbenedict.com.
