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) if your child is currently enrolled in school

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.
