Admissions

Saint Anthony's seeks young men and women who have an interest and motivation to increase their faith, refine their moral fibre, and prepare themselves for admission to life in the academic and social world of the future.

An Open House for all interested students and their parents or guardians is ordinarily held on a Sunday in September. The date is listed on our calendar. For those who miss this day, there are tours one Wednesday a month beginning at 3:30 PM in the school library. Please call the school for the date in any given month. No reservation is required.

For those entering the ninth grade, an examination(CHSEE) is given throughout the Diocese of Rockville Centre. Applications to take this exam are usually available beginning in September at a local Catholic elementary school, parish center or high school. The entrance examination itself is offered on a Saturday in the Fall, and is listed on our calendar.

In the event that an 8th Grade student does not take the exam, or for admission into the 10th or 11th Grade, an APPLICATION FORM must be submitted. It is rare that a student is accepted for transfer into the Senior year.

The application lists the information we require to review the application. Sophomore or Junior year applicants must be enrolled in a college preparatory or Regents level program and be studying either French or Spanish or have successfully completed and taken the third level Regents Examination in any language. Students may begin a language after admission. Our passing grade is 75% in all subjects. A final mark below 75% results in dismissal unless a minimum of 75% is obtained in that subject in an accredited high school during the summer.

Saint Anthony's operates a summer school program for all subjects offered at Saint Anthony's. The school does not provide transportation.

All of last year's graduating seniors were accepted to colleges and universities throughout the USA, 75% of whom received grants and/or scholarships valued at over $25 million dollars.
