Families New to St. Vincent de Paul School
St. Vincent de Paul Catholic School’s formal admissions process begins with an online application. We welcome and encourage a personal touch point of a phone call or a tour, prior to beginning the admissions process. Once you are ready, you may use the online portal to apply, for which a $20 non-refundable fee per student is assessed.
Once the application is processed, approved, and an interview with the principal is completed, you will receive an invitation by email to complete the next step of enrollment. During the enrollment process you will be asked to upload your child’s birth certificate, immunization record, baptismal certificate, and custodial documents, where applicable.
For those families looking to enroll mid-year or at another point during the school year, please reach out to Mary Martin at mmartin@svdpk8.org. We have a limited number of spaces in some grades.

Non Discrimination Policy
The Catholic schools of the Archdiocese of Denver, under the jurisdiction of Archbishop Samuel Aquila and at the direction of the Superintendent of Catholic Schools, state that all of their Catholic schools admit students of any race, color, national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the schools. Furthermore, Archdiocesan schools admit handicapped students in accordance with Archdiocesan Policy # 2000 concerning student admission. These schools do not discriminate on the basis of race, age, handicap, color, national or ethnic origin in the administration of their educational policies, employment practices, scholarship and loan programs or athletic or other school administered programs. Preference is always given to Catholic students. Title IX Assurance Statement (Archdiocesan Policy#6020) Students transferring from another school in grades K-8 are accepted on probation for the first 60 days for evaluation of grades, conduct, and effort.
