Enrollment Procedures

Immaculate Conception School accepts children of all races and religions. Registration for kindergarten begins in February for the following September.  Immaculate Conception School follows the age requirements for admission as defined by the Jenkintown School District: entering kindergarten students are required to be five years of age by September 1st. 

Registration for new students and re-registration for returning students takes place during the month of March for the following September.  As a parish school, we grant priority to parishioners during the enrollment process.  For each grade level, there is an enrollment cap of 30 students. 

An all-school Open House is held each winter for parents and prospective students.  Families considering enrollment in Immaculate Conception School should call (215) 887-1312 to make an appointment for an interview and a tour of the school while in session.  Prospective new students have the opportunity to shadow for a day.

Acceptance Guidelines

It is our desire to provide a Catholic elementary education for all who seek it.  Registered parish families who regularly participate in Catholic liturgical celebrations and contribute to the parish community by offering consistent financial support to the parish will receive first priority in order of acceptance into our parish school.  Applicants are accepted in this priority order:

1.      Parishioners with Catholic children already in the school.

2.      Parishioners with Catholic children registered in the parish the longest.

3.      Parishioners who are new to the parish school community.

4.      Catholic students from a parish without a school.

5.      Catholic students coming from a parish that has closed its school enrollment.

6.      Non-Catholic students who live within the geographic boundaries of Immaculate Conception parish.
