Admission Process

Visit Mount Carmel School

We cordially invite you to visit our campus and tour the school at any time during the school year by contacting the Development office at 650-366-8817.

We will host our first Kindergarten only Open House and information night on January 19, 2010. You will meet the Kindergarten teacher, aides, and Principal and visit the classroom.

Each year, on the last Sunday of the month in January, the school holds an Open House for all grades. You may visit classrooms, and meet teachers, parents and students.

Submit an application

Applications are available in December prior to the year for which you are applying for Pre K – grades 7. We accept applications for 8th grade on an exception basis only, and only after consultation with the Principal. Applicants for K must be 5 years old as of September 1. The faculty and staff are committed to this date and do not make exceptions. There is a $50.00 application fee per child due at the time the application is submitted.

Interview and Testing

All prospective students are required to take a test prior to acceptance. The test for Kindergarten is for readiness. All other grades are to determine grade level ability. While your child is being tested, you have the opportunity to meet with the Principal and Pastor.

Acceptance

Acceptance letters for Kindergarten are mailed in March; all other grades in April. Once a student is accepted, the next step is to complete the registration process by submitting the requested forms and fees.
