Our Mission
More Than an Education
We exist to give witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ by partnering with parents to nurture children in faith, wisdom, and virtue.
Guided by the Church's mission to make disciples, we believe education should help children discover what is true, good, beautiful, and just - while preparing them to live lives of purpose and service.
Faith
Grow in a relationship with Christ.
Wisdom
Pursue truth through excellent academics.
Purpose
Discover the unique mission God has for every child.
Our Foundation
Mission Passionate Catholic Education
Our school is guided by the Archdiocese of Portland's Mission Passionate Catholic Education, a unifying vision that sets clear expectations for all Catholic schools. It calls us to form students in faith, knowledge, virtue, and a lifelong relationship with Christ.
1. Apply Online
Our online application makes the process simple and easy to track.
Go to FACTS SIS/Renweb and create an application account. After you receive your confirmation email (this may take up to 15 minutes), log in and start a new student application. You can save your progress and return anytime. A non-refundable $300 application fee per student is required with each application.
Documents needed for the application:
- A copy of the child’s birth certificate must accompany all applications.
- A baptismal record (if applicable)
- A record of state required immunizations.
2. Assessment
After your application is finished, you will be invited to the school for your child's assessment. All new students (even PreK) are required to be assessed before admission is considered.
3. Admission
Depending on whether you are applying for the current school year or upcoming school year, you will receive an email explaining your application status. If there are no current openings, your child will stay in our waitpool for the remainder of the year that they applied for. To stay in the waitpool for a future year, they must reapply.
If you have multiple students you are applying for, each must have their own application.
