Central Catholic’s admissions process starts by completing an “Application Interest Form” and returning it to the school (in person, by email, or by mail); after that, families schedule a tour, and then (after the tour) the school provides an application to complete and return. (centralcatholicindy.org) Key enrollment dates for the 2026–27 year listed in the school’s admissions policy include: re-enrollment beginning Monday, January 26, 2026; open enrollment beginning Monday, February 9, 2026; and (if needed) a lottery on Monday, March 2, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. in the school office. (files.ecatholic.com) New-student requirements include tuition payment information, copies of the student’s birth certificate and vaccination records, a student application and medical form, signed family and photo forms, and a $100 per-family enrollment fee (returning students submit similar items, including updated vaccine records if applicable). (files.ecatholic.com) If more completed applications are received than available seats, a random lottery may be used; students not selected are automatically placed on a waitlist, which follows the same priority order, lasts only for that school year, and families must reapply during the next open enrollment window to be considered again. (files.ecatholic.com) Admission priority categories (in order) are: current students (until open enrollment begins), siblings of current students, siblings of alumni, Catholic children, then non-Catholic children; siblings and current students are also noted as excluded from the lottery (i.e., given preference for enrollment).
