Eligibility for Enrollment
At St. Monica School, the development or behavioral age of the child is a strong factor in considering acceptance. The developmental age is an assessment at which the child is functioning as a total person: emotionally, intellectually, physically and socially. The prospective student must be able to understand and speak English proficiently.
