Admissions at Holy Rosary Academy

The Academy is now accepting applications for the 2008-2009 school year.  Admissions testing will begin in early February for new applicants in grades kindergarten through eighth.  There is limited space availability in grades 1 through 8.  If you are interested in making application to the school, please contact Rosemary Neely by phone (615-883-1108) or e-mail (neelyr@holyrosary.edu) for more information.

Holy Rosary Academy is a parochial elementary school supported by tuition and the contributions of the members of its “feeder” parishes. Registered, contributing parishioners and currently registered students will always be given priority over all other applicants for admission to the Academy. Applicants will be given priority in the following manner:

Current registered students who a) continue to meet school standards and b) complete the pre-registration process on or before the established deadline, and the siblings of such.

Registered, contributing parishioners of Holy Rosary, St. Stephen and St. Ignatius Parishes.

Registered, contributing parishioners from other area Catholic parishes.

Non-Catholic students.

Limitations of space and class size may require the establishment of a waiting pool at some levels. All admissions are subject to the approval of the Principal and are based upon such criteria as the following:

Active/contributing parish membership 

Acceptable school records (academic, behavioral, standardized testing, attendance, etc.)

 Performance on entrance tests administered by the Academy

Student and/or family interview
