The Elementary Enrollment Process

Catholic elementary schools in the Archdiocese of Louisville are typically ministries of a parish or group of parish communities. If you are not a member of a parish, or if you attend a parish that does not have a school, visit several schools and consider the needs of your child.

Catholic Elementary School Open House Day

Prospective parents are invited to a special elementary school open house day on Wednesday, October 21, from 9 a.m. to noon. Tours and presentations will be conducted on the hour at 9 a.m., 10 a.m. and 11 a.m., and application information will be available.

School Visits

In addition to this opportunity, many schools have regularly scheduled tours and sessions for new families, and all welcome your questions and interest.

The High School Enrollment Process

Shadowing

Shadowing is an opportunity for students in grades 7 and 8 to experience a typical high school day. Call the Catholic secondary school at least 48 hours in advance to schedule a shadowing experience for your child. Shadowing is for students only. Parents may schedule a tour of the building at a later and more convenient time for the school. Eighth-grade students shadow during the fall semester, and seventh-grade students shadow during the spring semester. Shadowing should be scheduled on days when elementary schools are not in session.

Open House

Open houses provide opportunities for students and parents to visit Catholic secondary school campuses. Open houses may include tours, special programs and demonstrations. The format of the open house is interactive, and parents and students will have the opportunity to ask questions. Refer to the listing of secondary schools and open house schedule for the open house date for each high school.
