Admissions Policy

General Requirements

St. Frederick Catholic High School and Junior High School is a co-educational, diocesan Catholic school serving students in grades 7–12. Admission is open to students who wish to pursue their education in a safe, caring, and faith-filled learning environment and who meet the school’s admissions requirements.

Admissions information is evaluated to determine if the student is prepared to meet the school’s academic, behavioral, and disciplinary standards and is willing to support the mission and values of St. Frederick Catholic High School and Junior High School.

St. Frederick Catholic High School and Junior High School admits qualified students to its programs and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, or disability in the administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, athletic programs, or other school-administered programs.

A student who has been expelled from another school, who has not met the academic requirements of his or her former school, or who, in the judgment of the St. Frederick administration, has a history of serious academic or behavioral problems, will not be admitted.

Admissions Interview Process

All applicants to St. Frederick Catholic High School and Junior High School, including students applying from feeder schools, transfer schools, and home schools, are required to participate in an admissions interview. A parent or guardian interview is also required as part of the admissions process.

The admissions interview committee will consist of:

• The Head of School
• One additional member of the administration
• One faculty member from either the High School or Junior High School, depending upon the applicant’s grade level at the time of application

The admissions interview is intended to assess the student’s academic readiness, character, conduct, school fit, and willingness to support the mission and values of St. Frederick Catholic High School and Junior High School. The parent interview provides an opportunity to ensure mutual understanding of the school’s expectations, policies, and commitment to Catholic education.
