Due to the continued success of our programs, especially in our PreK and Kindergarten classes in recent years, please see below for our PreK and K acceptance notes:
PreK: Families who don’t receive acceptance for PreK 3s are welcome and encouraged to apply again for PreK 4s the following year. By design, we have more capacity in our 4s programs than in 3s since some children don’t begin PreK until age 4.
Kindergarten -
K Acceptance Priority is as follows:
- Holy Redeemer verified parishioners
- Families with older siblings already enrolled in Holy Redeemer
- Catholics from other parishes
- Non-Catholics
While we are hopeful that we do not have to enforce these parameters and that we can accept ALL students who desire a Catholic education, we do want to be transparent as possible.
Beginning with the 2024-2025 school year, enrollment in the PreK program will not necessarily guarantee Kindergarten placement.
