How Our Admissions Committee Makes Decisions

At Mother Teresa of Calcutta Catholic School, our admissions process is rooted in prayer, discernment, and our commitment to forming students in faith, integrity, responsibility, and compassion. Admission is not determined on a first-come basis; instead, our committee carefully considers each application to ensure a strong partnership between home and school.

Because space is limited, not all qualified applicants may be admitted. Our goal is to welcome mission-aligned students and families who value faith formation, demonstrate strong academic effort and conduct, and are prepared to engage in a rigorous academic program that challenges them to grow intellectually, socially, and spiritually.
