Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, we are a co-ed school! After a long and proud history of being an all-boys school, the College made the decision to include girls when the school re-privatized in 1994.

Currently, our enrollment is approximately 50/50 split amongst boys and girls across each grade, although it does vary depending on enrollment and applicants.

The College currently has students in grades 5-12, however, our main entry years are grades 5, 7 and 9. We accept applications for all other grades, but they will not be considered until current students have re-registered for the upcoming school year in mid-February.

Approximate Available Spots by Entry Grade (numbers differ slightly depending on the year):

Grade 5:  36 

Grade 7: 24 

Grade 9: 50-60

Yes, students may apply to grades 10, 11 and 12. They must first contact the Admissions Office in February of the year they wish to attend. Off-entry year students are only offered acceptance as a spot(s) becomes available.

We accept students of various religious backgrounds. However, all students will be given instructions in the Catholic faith in all its fullness and richness, regardless of religious affiliation of the situation of their parents/adoptive parents/legal guardians. It is understood that our school community exists to pass on the Catholic faith to Catholic students and to help them grow in holiness as disciples of Jesus Christ.

All students files are reviewed in the same fashion.
