Admissions & Registration

Page content

At the core of Archbishop Shaw High School’s philosophy is the Salesian educational system of St. John Bosco, which recognizes the worth and dignity of all individuals as children of God with unique gifts and skills. Thus, every applicant deserves consideration as a potential recipient of our best efforts toward Catholic, Christian education.

However, applicants must be able to document or demonstrate that they can perform academically at an appropriate age and/or grade level. The physical facilities, the design of the curriculum, and guidance opportunities require that admissions personnel accept, out of a sense of justice, students who can function independently and successfully in a traditional classroom environment. The school does not offer a program specifically suited to students who need special education or have learning disabilities.

Archbishop Shaw High School admits students of any race, color, national, or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national, or ethnic origin in administration of its education policies, admissions policies, scholarships, and financial aid programs, athletic and other school-administered programs.

Additionally, in compliance with Title IX of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, no person in the schools of the Archdiocese shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, or be denied the benefits of or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity, except insofar as the schools are exempt under Title IX or other applicable law.
