St. Junipero Serra Catholic Preschool will consider applications from outside our parish communities. Siblings of current students are given priority in admissions.
Formal Acceptance
Applications may be obtained from the St. Junipero Serra Catholic School website. Once the application is completed in its entirety and submitted to the Admissions Department, the Preschool Director will review all applications, meet the child while on a school tour, and determine that St. Junipero Serra Catholic Preschool can meet the needs of the student. Available openings will be filled based on the Priority of Admissions Policy as outlined below:
For Current Serra Families
Siblings of families currently registered at St. Junipero Serra Catholic School.
For New Families
Registered members of St. Kilian, San Francisco Solano, Holy Trinity or Santiago de Compostela, who actively participate in the life of their parish.
For Out of Parish Families
Once applications from registered founding parish families have been reviewed, applications from families who are not registered with one of our four parishes or who are non-Catholic will be reviewed for consideration by the St. Junipero Serra Catholic School Admission Department and Preschool Director. A meeting with the school’s Chaplain may be required before a recommendation can be made.
The criteria for preschool admission are also based on three additional factors. First, all children must be three years old before entry into preschool. Second, children must be fully potty-trained. Finally, parents must subscribe to the school’s philosophy and agree to abide by the educational policies and regulations of St. Junipero Serra Catholic School and St. Junipero Serra Catholic Preschool.
