Admissions for the 2022/23 school year are now active; applications will begin processing in October 2021.

Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year.  Admissions decisions will be communicated to families by January 2022, or about 6 weeks after applying if after January 2022. 

If you are interested in touring our facilities or recieving communications regarding admissions, please fill out a New Family Interest Form so you will be added to our Prospective Families email list.  Any admissions updates or tour dates will be communicated through the Prospective Families email list, in addition to being posted on our website.

We invite you to join us for our Open House on Sunday, January 30th from 9am to 12pm as we celebrate Catholic Schools Week.  Guided tours will be available, or you can explore our campus on your own.  Admissions staff and school administrators will be on hand to answer questions.  This Open House is an opportunity to hear more about our school, take a guided tour of our campus, and learn more about the admissions process. 

School Tours are also available some weekday mornings, between the hours of 8am and 11am. 

The application to SMM is processed through the Catholic Diocese of Wilmington's application portal.  All families must complete a pre-registration form with the Diocese requesting an application to the Catholic school of their choice.  St. Mary Magdalen approves these pre-registrations each weekday, so families will receive an application with directions included via email once their pre-registration has been approved (typically within 48 hours).

Completing the St. Mary Magdalen School Application

Prior to getting started, you will need the following documents scanned and available to upload with your application:

• A copy of your child’s birth certificate

• A copy of your child’s health records (immunizations)

• A copy of your child’s baptismal certificate (if available; not mandatory)

• A copy of a recent report card(s) for applicants to 1st thru 8th grade.
   

Once your pre-registration has been approved, an email will be sent to the primary email listed on the pre-registration form.  This email is from the Catholic Diocese of Wilmington (CDOW) and details instructions on how to set up a PowerSchool account and complete a student application to St. Mary Magdalen. If you already have a PowerSchool account for a child currently attending a CDOW school, your instructions will detail how to add a new child to your existing account. The email includes a unique access ID and Password that links your application to your pre-registration form. 

Once your PowerSchool account is active or a new child has been added to yoru existing account, you will need to complete the Enrollment Forms within PowerSchool.  All forms, and the included uploaded documents are required to complete an application.  You will receive a confirmation when your forms have been submitted.

Applicants to St. Mary Magdalen School are required to pay a non-refundable $100 application fee to complete the submission of an application.  This fee can be paid securely online HERE, or by check, mailed to St. Mary Magdalen School.  If mailing your application fee, please include the applicant's name on the memo of the check.
