Dear Parents/Guardians,

St. Andrew Catholic School has a selective process for admissions. We are best suited to serve the needs of those who are at or above grade level and meet our standards of conduct and behavior. We evaluate each applicant based on academic records, any standardized testing results, recommendation forms, and placement assessments.

We will begin accepting and enrolling new students for the 2025-2026 school year in February 2025. Please note that filling out the application does not mean acceptance and enrollment.

We refrain from making advance promises of admissions. The partnership between home and school is important and for that, we need to follow a formal admissions process, assuring there is a good fit for the student and the school. This process includes acceptance which is sent to each accepted student by the school.

If you have questions, please feel free to contact Cyra Badilla at 239-772-3922 or cbadilla@standrewcs.org.

Wait Pool

Several grades have wait pools established. If there is a wait pool and a seat opens up, qualified applicants in the wait pool will receive an offer following these acceptance priorities:

1. Applicants with a sibling currently enrolled at SACS.

2. Applicants of active parishioners of St. Andrew Catholic Church.

3. Applicants of parishioners of neighboring parishes/Diocese of Venice.

4. Applicants transferring from another Catholic School

5. Applicants who are non-Catholic or non-practicing Catholic who support the mission of St. Andrew Catholic School.
