ADMISSIONS PROCEDURES
Every student must enroll each year he or she attends St. John Berchmans School. The application (for new students, only) and enrollment (for all students) process is online and the link will be sent via email to each currently enrolled school family at the start of the enrollment process, and to each interested new family once the re-enrollment period for current school families has ended. All enrollment and admissions fees must be paid in order for a student to be officially enrolled. Copies of the following documents should accompany each application: birth certificate, baptismal certificate, First Communion certificate, and health forms. To insure a new student’s success at our school, he/she will be in a period of evaluation during the first few months so our staff can evaluate his/her progress and make sure the child’s adjustment to our school is for his/her benefit.
