School Admission Policy:

Corpus Christi School admits students of any sex, race, color or racial or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. The school does not discriminate on the bases of sex, race, color, racial or ethnic origin in administration of its education policies.

The competition to enter children into Corpus Christi School and kindergarten over the past several years motivates us to clarify two points of interest to all parishioners and school families. First, active parishioners will be given preferred consideration for acceptance. Naturally, several factors enter into admission but, other things being equal, loyal parishioners deserve preference.

Secondly, a clear understanding of what constitutes being an active parishioner should help. For this purpose, an active parishioner is one who:

1. has registered in the parish at the time the family moved into the parish.
2. participates regularly at weekend Mass in the parish.
3. has a record of using donation envelopes consistently.

Additional weight in the acceptance decision will be given to the following factors:

1. length of time the family has a history of active participation in the parish.
2. dependable participation in some parish program or project, e.g. parish committees (liturgy, spirituality, social, service, education and resources), the parish renewal program (called Renew) or the religious education programs for youth, (pre-school, religious education programs and Confirmation).

However, new parishioners do have an opportunity because parents with children currently enrolled are required to maintain the status described above for re-acceptance of their children each year.

Corpus Christi School is an integral part of the parish program and an extraordinary educational bargain. This explanation is an attempt to set an equitable policy and to make explicit the relationship between the parish and the school. We value your support, and we want the school to serve our loyal parishioners to the best of our ability.
