Admissions Process

St. Vincent Martyr School seeks students from varied economic, racial, and religious backgrounds who are intellectually curious, serious about learning, self-motivated, and disciplined. Admissions decisions are made without regard to race, religion, sex or national origin. We offer rolling admissions throughout the school year to new students who meet admissions criteria. Re-enrollment is offered to existing students whose academic and tuition records are in good standing.

WE ARE ACCEPTING INQUIRIES & APPLICATIONS FOR THE 2025-2026 SCHOOL YEAR.

We will accept students if spots are available for students who qualify to attend the school.

Please watch our video welcome to learn more about our school.
