Admissions
Lumen Christi Catholic School curriculum is permeated with Catholic philosophy. Daily Mass, prayer and
Catholic devotion are an integral part of the school day. Students who are not Catholic may be admitted to
the school with the explicit understanding that all students must participate in all activities within the school
including: religion classes and Catholic cultural and liturgical activities. (Image at right: St. Thomas Aquinas, patron of Lumen Christi Catholic School)
Lumen Christi Catholic School only accepts full-time students. A full-time student is defined as a student that is present at the school during normal hours of operation, takes the required load of courses for their grade level, and participates in all school activities including fundraisers. All students upon initial enrollment are placed on academic and deportment probation for the first 12 weeks of attendance.
