Admission Policies

Roman Catholic Schools in the Archdiocese of New York base their educational purpose and all their activities on the Christian teaching of the  essential equality of all persons as rooted in God’s love.

Thus, with discrimination so repugnant to their nature and mission, Catholic Schools in this Archdiocese do not discriminate on the basis of race, color,  national and ethnic origin, and gender in administration of educational  policies, admission policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school administered programs.


This policy is subscribed to by all Catholic elementary and secondary  schools in the Archdiocese of New York whether owned or operated by the Archdiocese, the parishes of the Archdiocese or religious communities with the Archdiocese.

The process for admission to Saint Angela Merici School is: parents must complete the school application form and provide all required documents. Following an interview and evaluation of the materials, the parent will be  notified about the status of the child.

Saint Angela Merici School gives preference in admission first, to siblings of currently enrolled students; second, to Catholic students whose parents are active members of the parish; third, to Catholic students whose parents are  active in another Catholic parish; fourth, to non-Catholic students.
