Admission Policies
Our Lady of Angels School will accept students of any race, color, or ethnic origin with priority given to registered members of Our Lady of Angels Parish. Non-parishioners and non-Catholics may be accepted as space permits. No discrimination is made as to race, creed, or nationality among non-parishioners.
An active member of Our Lady of Angels Parish is one who is registered in the parish, attends Mass each week, uses church envelopes, and is involved in specified activities in the parish and/or school.
The rectory staff will periodically check that the above criteria is being followed.
Admission of Non-Catholics
- Families must have some Christian church affiliation.
- Families are required to accept and work within the school philosophy.
- Students attend daily religion classes and school liturgies.
- Parents pay the full cost of education for the child.
- Admission in this category can only be considered if class size permits. It will not hinder further enrollment.
Kindergarten Admissions
Applications for Kindergarten are distributed in January. Registration folders for Kindergarten are available in the school office for pick up. Final acceptance for registration is at the discretion of the pastor and the principals.
Each spring, incoming Kindergarten students are assessed for school readiness. The “Early Prevention of School Failure” screening is used to assist parents and the school staff in making an assessment of a child’s particular readiness needs. This year’s EPSF screening will take place on April 15th and 16th. Letters will be sent to all registered families regarding this assessment. Parents are formally notified of the screening results.
If you have a Kindergarten student that you would like to enroll at Our Lady of Angels, please contact the school office as soon as possible so assessment dates and times can be scheduled. Additional EPSF screening will be provided as needed.
Transfers
If a student transfers from another private school, all financial obligations must be met at the previous school before the registration will be accepted and processed. When a child is transferring from one Catholic school to another, Our Lady of Angels School contacts the former school for information regarding the student.
If you decide to withdraw your child for any reason, please contact the school office for details. You will be asked to sign a Release of Records form so that your child’s records may be sent to the new school. Report cards and records will not be sent if tuition and fees are not up to date. If tuition has been paid beyond the date of transfer, it will be prorated and refunded.
Tuition & Fees
Tuition covers approximately one-half of the cost of educating a child at our school. The tuition charges are reviewed annually by the Parish Finance Committee.
| 2011-2012 Tuition | $3450.00 per child |
| Education Fee | $150.00 per child |
| Lunchroom fee | $20.00 per family |
Tuition payments may be made in one of the following ways:
- Annually, in August
- Semi-annually, the week of August 2, 2010 and January 31, 2011
- F.A.C.T.S. Automatic Tuition Payment Agreement Plan (monthly payments will be automatically withdrawn from checking or savings account)
Financial Aid
There are numerous financial scholarships awarded to current Our Lady of Angels students to offset the cost of tuition. These scholarships provide over $13,000.00 in annual assistance.
We accept Cleveland Scholarship and Tutoring Program (CSPT) scholarships. We also offer Private School Aid Service (PSAS) assistance to all qualifying families. Applications must be completed by published deadlines; the deadline for the 2012-2013 school year will be announced soon.
