Admissions

Updated 7mo ago

St. Joseph Catholic School (Shelbyville, IN) directs prospective families to call the school office (317-398-4202) to schedule a visit, then proceed to registration if they decide it’s a good fit. New families are told to use the “Apply Now” online application (Google Form) or register in the school office, while returning families submit a paper registration form to the school office. The registration paperwork requests standard family/student information and indicates that (if applicable) copies of custody/divorce/guardianship documents must be on file, and that medication/permission-to-treat related forms and properly labeled medication must be turned in to the office. The site also notes that families needing financial assistance should inquire with the office (and references available scholarship/assistance options). The website pages reviewed do not list admissions/registration deadlines or “key dates,” and they do not describe a waitlist process or any enrollment priority categories.
