ADMISSION PROCESS

Thank you for considering Mater Salvatoris School for the education of your child. Mater Salvatoris School offers co-ed Preschool and Kindergarten and single-sex education for girls  from First Grade up. For September 2025, we will be enrolling boys and girls from Pre-K3 to Kindergarten, and girls from First Grade through Grade 10.

Stella Maris School for boys (stellamarisstamford.org) will be enrolling boys from Grades 1 through 8.

We invite you to visit us and learn more about Mater Salvatoris School and method. Our admission process begins when you schedule a school tour.

If you are applying to both Mater Salvatoris for your daughter(s) and Stella Maris for son(s), only one joint school tour is necessary.

Next, you may fill out our online application form and schedule a parent interview (again, this may be a joint interview if applying to both schools). The final step is a student visit and academic screening.
