Start by attending an open house or virtual information session, then submit the online application; applications are accepted on a rolling basis, with no application fee. (academyofsaintjoseph.org) After applying, families are invited for a school visit and interview, and every applicant has a school-based assessment; grades 5–8 also have an individual interview. Applicants must meet the school’s age cutoff—September 1 for Pre-K 3 and Pre-K 4, and December 1 otherwise—and are assessed for grade-level readiness. (academyofsaintjoseph.org) For 2027–28, the school lists January 8 as the date for completed applications to receive scheduled decisions, but prints the year as 2026 while calling it a Friday; confirm whether it means January 8, 2027. Its listed notification dates are February 4 for kindergarten, February 10 for grades 1–8, and February 25 for Pre-K, with parent replies due February 11, February 26, and March 4, respectively. (academyofsaintjoseph.org) If a grade has no vacancy, the school will ask whether the family wants to join a waitlist; it publishes no formal admissions priority categories and welcomes families regardless of faith.
