Saint Barnabas School

St. Barnabas Catholic School’s admissions materials indicate families apply by completing the school’s registration/admission forms and submitting a non‑refundable $250 per child registration deposit, along with required documents (as applicable) such as baptismal record, birth certificate, and up-to-date immunization records. (school.stbindy.org) Kindergarten applicants must be age 5 by September 1 of the school year, and grades 1–8 applicants must show successful completion of the previous grade; transfer students may also need a conference with the principal, prior school records (including any IEP/504, if applicable), updated immunizations, and possibly entrance testing. (school.stbindy.org) The school notes a spring registration period each year (and selection occurs after registration/re‑registration closes), and its posted 2025–2026 tuition policy lists May 2, 2025 as the due date for participating-parishioner tuition for that school year (suggesting key deadlines vary by year and may require confirming current dates with the office). (school.stbindy.org) If a student is not selected or registers after spring registration, they are automatically placed on a waitlist; openings are offered in the same priority order, and the waitlist is only maintained for that single school year (it ends when the school year ends). (school.stbindy.org) Priority for admission is: (1) current students; then Catholic children of participating parishioners in this order—siblings of current students, siblings of graduates, then others; then Catholic children of non-participating parishioners in the same sibling/graduates/others pattern; then non-parishioner Catholic children; then non-Catholic children, with tie-break priority based on parish registration date for the top categories and application date for the rest.
