Applying to Lakewood Catholic Academy
Application Process and Timeline
Re-Registration for Current Families
The admissions calendar begins with re-enrollment for
families who currently have children at Lakewood Catholic
Academy. Current families are first asked to declare in
November whether they plan to enroll any additional family
members in the early childhood or Kindergarten classrooms for
the following year. During the month of January, current
families are required to submit re-enrollment forms for the
following year. These families have priority for both the
re-enrollment of current students as well as new student
registration. Re-enrollment forms are due to the Main Office by
Friday, January 27, 2011. Please note that current families who
do not complete their re-enrollment forms by this deadline lose
their first priority for enrollment.

Lakewood Catholic
Academy reserves the right to admit students based on its

the registration fee must be paid in order for a student to be
considered fully registered:

certificate (one with a raised seal from the county of birth)
