FAQs

The admission process for new kindergarten applicants begins the year prior to entry. While we encourage families to look at Holy Spirit Catholic School early, we do not accept applications until the end of January of the year before the student will enroll. Preschool admissions begin at the end of January and continue throughout the school year if openings exist.
We strongly encourage parents to submit their application as soon as they are able to ensure a spot for their child.
Completed registration forms and the $300 enrollment fee can be addressed to:
Holy Spirit Catholic School
ATTN: Dr. Jennifer Krieger
515 Albert Street South
Saint Paul, MN 55116
Admission letters are generally sent within two weeks of receiving the application.
We want to give you the opportunity to meet us and get the feel of our school before you apply. To request registration paperwork, call the school office at (651) 698-3353. Better yet, schedule a tour or a shadow experience! Half or full day shadow experiences are available to students in grades 1–7.
Our annual tuition is set after careful analysis and thoughtful consideration. The financial impact of tuition on our families is a major part of these considerations. We do not want to lose any family due to financial concerns. Tuition rates and financial aid options are available here.
The annual non-refundable family enrollment fee is $300 and will be charged to tuition accounts in March.
Additional fees relate to optional programs, such as:
- Preschool Breakfast and Lunch Bunch, Extended Day
- Hot Lunch (K–8)
- Band (4–8)
- Extended Day
- Theatre (5–8)
- Athletics
In keeping with a long tradition in Catholic education, students are expected to wear uniforms. Exceptions (out-of-uniform days) will be announced in the weekly email newsletter. Uniforms lend dignity and discipline to the education process and identify Holy Spirit as a school community. Find the uniform policy here.
