Admissions

Inquire & Visit

Start Here

Begin the conversation that could shape your child's next chapter.

Choosing a school is one of the most consequential decisions a family makes. We invite you to ask your questions, to walk our campuses, and to discover for yourself the community that has formed young minds and hearts for more than a century. 

Tell Us About Yourself

Share a little about your family and the grade your child will enter, and our admissions team will reach out to answer your questions and guide your next steps. The inquiry form takes only a few minutes, and it opens the door to everything that follows.

Visit Us in Person

Nothing conveys the spirit of the School of St. Mary like an in-person visit. We welcome prospective families to tour either campus: the Primary Grade Center for preschool through third grade and the Upper Grade Center for grades four through eight. A personal tour lets you meet our faculty, observe our classrooms, and experience the warmth of a Crusader community firsthand. Select a time below to schedule your visit.

Upcoming Admissions Events

Throughout the year, we host a small number of gatherings designed to introduce prospective families to our community. Join us to meet our faculty and families, and to imagine your child as part of the School of St. Mary story.

Questions are always welcome. Our admissions team is glad to help at any point in your journey.
