APPLY TO ACS
Your child’s growth from kindergarten through eight grade is tremendous. Assumption is a place where your child can grow in character, mind, body, and soul. We look forward to guiding you through the process of applying to join our Knight family; see the steps below to begin.
step 1
October 16, 2023: Campus tours began.
- Families applying to ACS scheduled their on-campus tour HERE.
Families applying to ACS gathered the following application materials:
- Previous year final report card
- Current year-to-date report card
- A copy of the child’s most recent standardized test results (if applicable)
- Teacher recommendation email (this should be sent from the child’s current teacher’s email address)
- Record of IEP, 504, psychological evaluation (if applicable)
- Birth certificate
All of these items should be scanned as pdf's and uploaded electronically during the application process. Jpeg is not an acceptable file type as it does not print legibly.
STEP 2
October 30, 2023: Application portal opened.
At the time of application, all new students seeking admission to Assumption were evaluated on the basis of standardized test scores, report cards, and teacher recommendations. Students applying for admissions were required to upload the above-listed required documents. These were reviewed to determine whether the program at Assumption Catholic School would meet the educational needs of the student.
As openings become available, the following priorities are used to accept students to Assumption Catholic School:
- Active Assumption Catholic Church Parishioner
- Sibling of current Assumption student/ACS parent or sibling alumni
- Members of other Catholic parishes
- Non-Catholic students
