• When can I submit my child's application?

  Applications are accepted year-round. To increase your child's chances of acceptance, and space availability, it is recommended that you submit their application as early as possible. While we continue to accept applications throughout the year, many grade levels may be full after the deadline.  If the applicant is accepted but all the spots are full, the applicant will be placed in a 'wait pool.'
  
  If a spot becomes available, Monte Cassino will select the most appropriate candidate for the spot.

• What type of tests are given to Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten students?

  Students participate in an individual session to examine verbal and non-verbal problem-solving skills. These settings evaluate his or her development areas as well as how well they follow directions and interact with the test administrator.

• If I receive an acceptance, but decline, am I guaranteed a spot for the following year?

  No.  If you are accepted to Monte Cassino, but decline the offer, you will not be guaranteed a spot for the following year.  Your former acceptance will be taken into consideration, but offers for available space will be given to the most qualified candidates who submitted applications for the current year for which you are applying.

• Are siblings of current students guaranteed admission?

  Siblings of current students are not guaranteed admission. Our policy states that every effort is made to accommodate qualified siblings of current students; however, admission decisions are based primarily upon the composite qualifications of the individual candidate. It is helpful to get applications for sibling applications turned in during the sibling enrollment period. The deadline for new sibling applications is November 15, 2023.
