Admissions Policy
It is the policy of St. Charles School to welcome any student who wishes to apply for admission. St. Charles School under the guidance of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Indianapolis admit students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at St. Charles School. St. Charles School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
Although first priority is given to St. Charles Borromeo parishioners and Catholic students, others who wish to participate in the program will continue to be admitted as long as there is adequate room following the school’s Class-Size Policy, and it has been determined that St. Charles School can meet the child’s specific needs. Admission will be based on the following ordered priorities:
1. Catholic and non-Catholic families presently enrolled in St. Charles School (K-8).
2. Catholic and non-Catholic families with siblings presently enrolled in St. Charles School (K-8).
3. Families who deferred enrollment the previous year based on developmental assessment results.
4. Registered parishioners of St. Charles Borromeo who have participated in the preschool programs, based on length of participation.
5. Registered parishioners of St. Charles Borromeo who have not participate in the preschool programs.
6. Registered parishioners of other area Catholic parishes who have participated in the preschool programs, based on date of pre-registration.
7. Registered parishioners of other area Catholic parishes who have not participated in the preschool programs, based on date of pre-registration.
8. Non-Catholic families who have participated in the preschool programs, based on length of participation.
9. New non-Catholic families, based on date of pre-registration.
