• Availability of classroom space, not to exceed 20 students in the Preschools and 30
students in Grades Kindergarten through 8.

St. Bruno School will admit non-Catholic students provided these students will not displace
Catholic students and that both students and parents clearly understand that participation in
Catholic religious instruction and school activities related to the Catholic character of the school
is required.

Transfer students are expected to be in good academic and behavioral standing and owe no debts
to the previously attended school. St. Bruno School reserves the right to inspect former school
records before admission. Students in grades 1 -8 who transfer to St. Bruno School from another
school will be will be on academic and conduct probation for one year. At any time during this
year, the student may be asked to withdraw from the school. The decision is made by the
principal upon referral from the teacher.
St. Bruno School may require testing or interviews of families and students to determine special
needs for its students. St. Bruno School endeavors to educate all students within the limits of our
school’s educational program. We are not in a position to educate everyone. Students with
special needs that cannot be met by existing programs will not be accepted for admission or readmissions.
