Should an elementary-aged international student’s legal status change such that they are no longer required to pay fees (refer to the legal status change note within the Refund Policy below for clarity), then the student must comply with the board’s Catholicity requirement and must receive the sacrament of baptism in a Roman Catholic church prior to commencing school on a non fee-paying basis.

Elementary students must arrive and be registered with the school, no later than the last Friday of the month, after the start of school.
