Admissions Process

Steps to Admission:

1. Acquire application paperwork following a parent/guardian tour of the school, an Open House, or use this link to a PDF version of the
St. Pius Admission Form.

2. Complete and return application with required documents.

3. Schedule a shadow day/test day for your child

4. Once your child has been accepted, families must sign up with our tuition management company, FACTS, to set up electronic payments that typically go from July-April. 




GENERAL INFORMATION 

Admissions application forms must be completed and returned to the school with a $150 application fee. When turning in applications, parents should bring the following items with them:

• most recent report card/progress report and standardized test scores (if transferring from another school)
• a copy of the child's birth certificate
• immunization records
• copy of Baptismal certificate for Catholic applicants

Once an application is received, a shadow day is scheduled with the child's current grade level. If possible the required entrance test will be administered on the visit day, otherwise it will be scheduled at another time. 

Parents will be notified by letter whether or not a child has been accepted. All new and transfer students are accepted on a probationary period.

PRE-K AND KINDERGARTEN REQUIREMENTS

The state of Tennessee requires that Pre-K applicants be 3 years old by August 15th and Kindergarten applicants be 5 years old by August 15th of the school year.
