ADMISSIONS
In keeping with the Christian concept of education, Saint Patrick School poses no conditions for admission other than the child's ability to function as a student of this school and his/her willingness to abide by the rules governing behavior. Under the auspices of the Archdiocese of Boston, Saint Patrick School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, nationality and ethnic origin in administration of educational policies, admission policies, scholarship and loan programs and in the hiring of school personnel.

Saint Patrick School does not provide an option to the religion class.
