Shadowing Program for 8th Graders - We are now making appointments for your eighth grader to shadow a current LC freshman from mid-March forward. 

"We are so excited about LC.  It has been our son's #1 and only choice from the start.  I have been so amazed and impressed by the academic offerings and the caliber of the faculty.  What a great place.  All my friends who already have children there sing the school's praises all the time.  We feel so blessed that such a gem is so close by!" - Parent of 8th grader at MMR

Thinking about registering or transferring to LC?  Compare us with expensive private schools like LaSalle and GMA by clicking on this link COMPARE, we send students to the same colleges/universities at a third of the cost.  LC's Classes of 2008 & 2009 received almost $21 million in scholarships and grants!

Students transferring from public schools or private schools must submit their most recent report card, standardized test scores and their discipline record at the time of application.  These applicants are required to have an interview with the Assistant Principal for Academic Affairs and the Assistant Principal for Student Services or their designees.  At the interview, the parent is to present a letter from their pastor which indicates that he supports their request for admission.  The interview is scheduled by the school some time after the application for admission has been received.

Transfer students applying for admission to tenth, eleventh and twelfth grades must follow the procedures described above.  Students attending another school should have a good reason for transferring;  a judgment concerning the validity of the reason will be a factor in determining whether admission is granted or refused. 

Students transferring from another school will be held to the same standards of achievement as students of Lansdale Catholic.  Some students may be required to sign an academic, attendance and/or discipline contract.

Lansdale Catholic High School admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students.  The school retains the right to deny admission if, in the judgment of the administration, the school cannot meet the academic or social needs of the student, reasons for transferring are not valid, or the enrollment limit of the school has already been reached.

In cooperation with the Secondary School System of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, Lansdale Catholic accepts applications for admission from students attending parish schools.  Catholic students who do not belong to the Latin Rite or non-Catholic students are also eligible for admission.  It is their responsibility to pay both the parish portion and the student portion of the tuition.

Lansdale Catholic presently has students from China, Korea and Colombia.  Foreign students who wish to study at Lansdale Catholic under an F-1 student visa are required to demonstrate proficiency in the English language.  The foreign student must establish residence with a legal guardian who certifies to the school in writing that he or she will provide all living expenses for the foreign student, as well as assume full responsibility for the regular school tuition and fees.  Lansdale Catholic has the right to require additional instruction in English as a condition for admission, if that is deemed necessary.  Lansdale Catholic also has the right to determine the grade placement of the student, upon analysis of the student's past academic records.  

Presently, 28 parishes from Bucks and Montgomery Counties have students attending Lansdale Catholic.
