What is the admission process at Immaculata?
We ask interested families to read our curriculum overviews, review the About Us pages on our website, and browse our YouTube channel.
After thoroughly reviewing the above, please call the school office at (502)365-3545 to schedule an introductory phone call.
Attend our open house or schedule a tour.
Fill out the application, which will be provided after the tour.
Schedule an assessment and/or shadow day, if necessary.
The final step is a Parent/Family Interview.
What is the admission process for my child with special needs?
The admission process is the same, except the interview process may be more extensive and may require additional testing to determine the child’s grade level in key core subjects. As part of our model, our students must be able to spend most of the day in the regular classroom. We have built a schedule that allows for individual flexibility for the student and use one-on-one tutoring sparingly. Accommodations and differentiated instruction are the primary methods we use for our children with special needs. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need clarification or have any questions.
Is there a limit to the number of children with special needs you can accept?
Yes, while Immaculata is committed to integrating and welcoming all children, we are limited to the number of children with special needs we are able to serve. What this limit is depends primarily on the individual classroom and number of children. We maintain a student ratio of about 15–20% of students with special needs. Every family’s situation is different! Our administrative team and special needs coordinators meet every student on an individual basis and will work with each family to determine the best placement for your child.
When should I apply?
Applications are accepted November-March. We recommend families apply as early as possible, as some grade levels fill up by early February, especially our preschool-2nd grade classes. If your child is not quite school age, it’s not too early to start the admissions process!
We work with the Catholic Education Foundation to provide a portion of tuition coverage for families who qualify. This requires families to apply early as the first CEF deadline is the beginning of March. CEF holds a second round of applications but has access to a considerably smaller amount of funding. Families should apply early to be included in the first wave of applications. However, no family should not apply because of financial concerns; we will work with you as much as possible.
Do you offer financial aid?
We are very proud of our excellent curriculum here at Immaculata. We cover a portion of the book expenses each year, but cannot cover them all. The book fee is used to order the books necessary for the entire school year. It is a once per year fee and is applicable to each child, grades K-12. There is also a supply fee for Pre-School and Pre-Kindergarten.
What does the book fee cover?
Please let us know! Our school hours are Monday, 10am–2pm, and Tuesday through Friday, 8am–3:30pm. Call 502-365-3545 or email our Assistant School Administrator, Carli Albrecht.
We hope to hear from you soon!
