ADMISSIONS
Saint Paul’s purpose is to provide an excellent Christian education enabling students to find identity, purpose, and power for their lives, and become productive citizens of the world. We believe every child possesses God-given gifts and seek to target each child’s gifts at every grade level. We are committed to providing enriching learning experiences which address a variety of learning styles, motivating children to be independent and innovative thinkers. This aligns with Saint Paul’s educational philosophy to educate the whole child by providing experiences for each child to grow spiritually, aesthetically, emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially.

Admission FAQ
How can I enroll my student?
Enrollment for new students is a 2 step process. First, you need to create an application account and apply to attend Saint Paul by submitting your online application HERE. If the class you are applying for is full, we notify you that you are placed on a waiting list.
Once your application is reviewed and accepted, you will receive an email with instructions to create a FACTS account (this is our school management platform) and complete your enrollment packet through this new account. The enrollment packet includes setting up your payment plan details before submitting. Upon submission you will be prompted to pay a $250 enrollment fee.
Prior to your first payment date, you will receive a confirmation outlining your tuition and discounts. Please let our school office know if you see any issues with this information.
In addition to your online enrollment packet, you will need to bring to our school office your student’s birth certificate and any other needed medical documentation per state requirements based on your child’s entering grade and whether they have enrolled in an Illinois school previously. Our school office will send this information to you once enrollment is processed.
