Admissions Policy
Admission to Northwoods Catholic School is determined by our Admissions Board, who incorporates the following into the decision process: the students grades, standardized test scores, SSAT scores (for 6th-8th grade applicants), English and mathematics teacher evaluations, the results of their personal interview(s), and the information on the application, including the students essay and questionnaire responses. Combined, these factors help us assess your child’s ability, motivation, and character.
