Admissions Policy
The open admission policy of Mother Teresa of Calcutta (MTC) Catholic School allows no person to be discriminated against on the basis of race, color, or ethnic origin, nor is the staff hired or assigned on the basis of race, color, or ethnic origin.

Although we wish we could offer admission to everyone that applies, there are several factors that may prevent us from offering your child admission; academics, conduct, space availability, and our ability to meet the child’s needs. Priority is given to children who have brothers or sisters currently enrolled at MTC.


Age Requirements
Age requirements, according to Florida State Law, are followed. A child must be five (5) years of age on or before September 1 of the current school year to be admitted to kindergarten. In order to enter first grade, a child must have satisfactorily completed kindergarten and be six (6) years of age on or before September 1 of the current school year. Exceptions may be made for out of state transfers.


Immunization and Health Exam Policy
Children must be current on their immunizations and health exam to attend Mother Teresa of Calcutta.  Students entering 7th grade must have the Diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis (DTaP) immunization.
