Guidelines for the Indiana Department of Education state that a student residing in Indiana be at least 5 years of age on or before September 1st in order to enroll in Kindergarten 

To help assess your child's readiness for Kindergarten we host a Kindergarten Round-Up in May. 

Student Shadowing

St. Bartholomew School offers a day of student shadowing to interested students and families.  Please call the office at (812) 379-9353 to schedule an appointment.

Transfer Applicants

Students transferring from another school to St. Bartholomew will be considered for admission if class size permits, if the student is in good standing, and if guidelines as established in the school’s Admissions Policy are met. Report cards and other records will be requested from previous school.

After the school year commences, when space permits, students not currently enrolled in St. Bartholomew Catholic School who wish to transfer from another school may be accepted when certain conditions are met.  However, we will support the academic and disciplinary decisions of other schools.  Therefore, a student expelled from another school may not be considered for enrollment until one year after the expulsion date. 

Students in good standing from another school will be considered for transfer admission after the following have been accomplished:

1. A conference with the principal, parents and student has been held.
2. Contact with the previous school has been made to determine academic placement and good standing.
