Admission Procedures

All prospective students, including siblings of current students, submit an information sheet for admission. An information sheet is available by contacting the school office. An initial pool of applicants will be created until March 15th, and admittance decisions will be made shortly thereafter. Applications may still be accepted after March 15th if there is space available or if a waiting pool is being generated.

Returning O'Hara students will begin registration for the 2009-2010 school year in February 2009. Once they have registered, other students will be accepted using the following priority.

1. Returning students of good standing who are currently enrolled.
2. Siblings of children currently enrolled at O'Hara.
3. Children of practicing Catholic parish families who are not currently enrolled at O'Hara.
4. Other members of our community may be registered at this time.

Pre-School / Pre-Kindergarten

We currently offer a Pre-School and a Pre-Kindergarten program. For the Pre-School program, children must be at least three (3) years old by September 1st. Parents have a choice of a full day or a half-day session on three, four, or five days a week. For Pre-Kindergarten, children must be at least four (4) years old by September 1st. This is a full day program four or five days a week. The students must be willing and able to use the toilet independently for both programs. Pre-School and Pre-Kindergarten children arrive at the same time as our other students. The day ends at 11:30 AM for our half-time Pre-School students.
