Application Process

The application process for San Juan Diego Catholic High School (SJDCHS) and the 8th Grade Academy is outlined below. Applicants must follow this process in order to be considered for admission.

The SJDCHS admissions process is three-tiered:

ONE
Submit the following documents to the SJDCHS Admissions Office:

• completed Application form
• student essay (topics on Application form)
• (4) signed recommendation forms
• Release of Records form or full academic records from previous school
• copy of student's Birth Certificate
• copy of student's Social Security card
• current immunization records
• application fee 

TWO
The application process is very competitive and space is limited, so interviews are not granted to every applicant.

Once all application materials are received, determined complete and reviewed by the admissions committee, the admissions director will notify the family as follows: (1)  SJDCHS seems a good fit and an interview and entrance test will be scheduled, or (2) SJDCHS does not seem a good fit and the student will not be interviewed.

THREE
Once the student is accepted, the family must submit a signed Letter of Intent, pay the $350 Tuition Deposit and complete the Emergency Contact Form to be officially enrolled. The family may then submit their PSAS Student Aid Application.
