Admission Steps
- Family Interview and Tour – A tour or open house visit is the first step to admissions. It is during this time a prospective family will learn more about St. Stan’s approach to teaching and learning. A tour can be scheduled or an RSVP given for an open house by calling our school at 773-278-4560 or by completing the request for information form at the bottom of this website.
-
Completed application packet – If after learning more about St. Stan's, you feel your values and views on education align with St. Stanislaus Kostka Academy, then the prospective family submits an application with the required application fee to our school office. The application is found on our website here.
-
Classroom visit – Children entering Preschool, PreKindergarten or Kindergarten spend approximately a half hour of time in the preschool, prekindergarten or kindergarten classroom. Parents are welcome to join their child, but if possible we would like the child to be on their own for at least 15 minutes. It isn’t always possible, but we try to give it a go! For students entering 1st-8th grade, the student spends the day with their respective classmates. This is scheduled on a mutually determined date between the family and St. Stan’s. **Classroom visits will resume after COVID restrictions are lifted.
