ORDER OF ACCEPTANCE
VOL typically accepts students according to the following categories:

1. Children of territorial parishioners who are deemed active by the pastor;
   Siblings of current VOL students;
2. Children of non-territorial parishioners who are deemed active by the pastor;
3. Children of VOL Alumni or legacy families as determined by the pastor;
4. Children of territorial parishioners of a parish without a school or no room in their territorial parish school who are deemed active by their pastor;
5. Children of non-territorial parishioners of a parish without a school or no room in their territorial parish school who are deemed active by their pastor;
6. All others – including inactive parishioners, non-Catholics, etc.

In the case of a student transferring from another Archdiocesan Catholic school, before granting admission, the principal will assess the status (academic, financial obligations, and disciplinary) of the student by conferring with the previous principal.

Meeting the above criteria does not guarantee automatic acceptance.

Being a sibling and/or a parishioner does not guarantee automatic acceptance.
