Apply to St. paul’s school

New student registration for the 2024-2025 school year began on February 1, 2024. There is no deadline to apply, however most classes have a waiting list at this time. We will accept applications for the waiting list through February 2025. Please complete the application and email it to Kim Cima at admissions@stpaulshouston.org. A $35 non-refundable application fee is due at the time of registration. If a spot becomes available for your child and you choose to enroll, the remainder of the registration fee ($100) and a tuition deposit fee will be processed at that time. See the application for more details.

Waiting Lists

A waiting list is established once a class is filled. If no space is available at the time you apply, your child will be placed on a waiting list, for a fee of $35. Spaces are filled as they occur, up until February of the school year. Waiting lists DO NOT carry over from year to year. If you remain on the waiting list and your child does not receive a spot, you must reapply the following school year.

Extended Care

Extended care options are offered at St. Paul’s School, however this option is not guaranteed and is fully contingent on space due to staffing needs. (Enrollment for extended days opens in August, prior to school beginning.)

Immunizations

As required by the Texas Department of State Health Services, ALL students must have the proper immunizations to be enrolled in St. Paul's School, unless a State exemption is provided. However, all up to date immunizations are strongly recommended to keep our school community safe. Immunization records are not required at the time you apply; these are due in August, if your child is placed. Please see the link below for required immunizations and more information. If you have any questions, please contact the school office. We appreciate your understanding!
