Transfer Students
Children who apply for admission to Curé of Ars School by transfer from non-public or public schools will be placed initially on the grade level they would have reached pending evaluation by teachers, guidance personnel and/or the school Principal. After such evaluations have been completed, the Principal will determine the final grade placement of the child.
Children applying for admission to Curé of Ars School, who have been home schooled, will be evaluated by school personnel for placement. The Principal will make the final decision based upon an interview, student portfolio, achievement tests, or any other informal curriculum assessments administered by the school.
Non-Catholic Students
Students who are not of the Catholic faith are welcome at Curé of Ars School. Our curriculum and activities are designed to teach the Catholic faith, promote the Catholic mission and support community-building, therefore it is important for all students to participate in all school activities. Non-Catholic students are expected to participate in liturgical and prayer services (with the exception of receiving sacraments which are open only to members of the Catholic faith) and are not exempted from religion/theology class requirements.
Health Assessment

Classroom Placement Policy
Parent requests for teacher selection are discouraged. Parents may present, in writing to the school office, the strengths and needs of their children. The decision of placement will be based on the professional discretion of the school’s principal in conjunction with teacher input.
Students with Special Needs
Curé of Ars School strives to “Teach all God’s Children.” Parents of children with special needs (academic, physical, behavioral) should contact the Principal to discuss the needs of the child and the available resources and the possibility of admission to the school. The final admission decision shall be made by the Principal.
