STEP 3: Assessment or Shadow Days

An invitation to the assessment and/or shadow day will be emailed after the Saint Brigid School receives all the required documents listed above as well as the application fee payment. It can take up to two weeks to receive your assessment invitation email after all documents have been received by the school.

STEP 4: Decision Emails

For all applicants, families will be notified by email of Saint Brigid School's admissions decision 2-4 weeks after completion of the assessment and/or shadow day, review of the applicant's complete file, and space allotment in the classroom.

For transfer students in grades 1st to 7th of the current school year, all decision emails will be sent on a rolling basis as steps 1 through 3 are completed by the applicant. Any transfer request that occurs in the final trimester of any school year or for transfer into the 8th-grade class will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Waitlisted applicants are students who have been accepted to Saint Brigid School but are waitlisted due to class size. In the case of a waitlist, your family will be notified when an opening in the classroom becomes available.
