Getting Started
The Admissions process is not an overnight occurrence. Many months must be invested in this process, and it is crucial for parents and prospective students to follow a strict, rigid guideline to assure a smooth process without any surprises.
The best way to achieve this smooth process to is begin the process early, which allows prospective students to not only have their transcripts, test scores and other variables examined before anyone else, but it also allows for extra wiggle room in case it is needed.
An ideal way to go about the Admission process is to follow the example calendar schedule that is listed below. This will prepare families and prospective students with a road map for successful admission to Saint Thomas More High School.
