Admissions

General Admissions Information

Please call the school to make an appointment for your personalized tour. - 615-269-0568

The best way to understand the qualities of a Saint Ann education is to experience it first hand. Therefore, we suggest you schedule a personalized tour of our campus during school hours. It is our philosophy that there is no one school right for all children Parents should spend considerable time evaluating the unique needs of their student, the needs of the family, and the type educational environment desired for their child. Each school in Nashville is different and parents have the difficult task of matching their needs with the set of components offered by each school.

Kindergarten Admissions

The formal application process for incoming Kindergarten students begins in January with a one-on-one assessment administered by the kindergarten teacher. The assessment is scored in about one week, after which we will contact you to set up an appointment with the principal to discuss the results of the assessment and complete registration materials.

In early May, your child will spend 2-3 hours in the Kindergarten classroom. This will allow your child to become acquainted with the classroom, new incoming kindergarten classmates, and the Kindergarten teacher

Admissions for Grades 1-8

• STEP ONE:
  
  Set up a meeting with the principal and schedule a school tour.
   

• STEP TWO:
  
  Schedule a "visitation day" for your child.  During this day, your student will enter the life of St. Ann School by participating in all aspects of our program.  Your child will be assigned a "buddy" who will be your child's partner while at St. Ann.
  
  At the conclusion of this day we, student, parent, and faculty, will meet to discuss questions and observations, with the goal to assess whether St. Ann School is a good fit for your child.
  
  It is important to bring past academic records (report cards and standardized tests) to this meeting.
   

• STEP THREE:
  
  After the admissions meeting, we mail your letter of acceptance and a St. Ann School application.  Returning the completed application, along with the $150 application fee, will secure your child's enrollment for the upcoming year.
   

• STEP FOUR:
  
  After being enrolled, the family will begin receiving weekly newsletters and important information as a means of fostering the relationship between the family and the school.  This relationship is critical to a child's success in school.
   

• STEP FIVE:
  
  An orientation will be provided for the parents of newly enrolled students in early August.
