While I had a stellar education, with private school tuition in NYC through the roof and wokeness abounding, my dad is already saying we  \nneed to get my unborn, Jewish child into Catholic school.  \nBeyond potential tuition savings and ultraliberal educational agendas, there’s no denying that these top-notch educational institutions have their merits.  \nAhead, admissions pros walk you through the ins and outs of getting into a Catholic school.  \nUse the ‘three Es’  \nLuciano Lovallo, director of admissions and financial aid at Xavier HS in Manhattan, urges parents to home in on the three Es—explore, experience and envision—when selecting a school for their child.  \nHere’show he breaks down these guiding principles.  \nExplore: Research schools by visiting their websites and speaking with current students and families.  \nExperience: Attend open houses or other admissions events listed on the schools’ websites.  \nEnvision: Attend a shadow day so they can imagine themselves  \nas part of the school community.“By following these steps for two or three of their top choices, students will gain a clear sense of which school is the best fit for them,”he said.  \nEchoing that sentiment, Christopher Farrell, dean of admissions at Saint Anthony’s HS in South Huntington, emphasized that students will know where they feel most at home.“Trust your instinct. I vividly remember my own search for a highschool   I knew the moment that I set foot on the campus at Saint Anthony’s over 25 years ago that it would be my highschool,” said Farrell, who was right and who has now been at Saint Anthony’s for 18 years as a teacher and administrator.  \nAttend an open house  \nIt’s open house season—time to make the most of these opportunities to scout potential schools with your family.  \nWhile open house formats vary, Cindy Chanin, founder and director of Rainbow Edu-  \nmembers of the school’s staff and an activity fair that offers a chance to get to know the school’s extracurricular activities and student organizations.“Sometimes current students of the school are present at the event as well, which can also offer a unique opportunity for prospective students to both ask questions and make connections,” she said.  \nDuring these events, Mario Gallo, director of admissions at St. Benedict’s Preparatory School in Newark, further clarified that parents can expect to meet teachers, administrators and current students who can share insights about everything from classroom expectations to how the school supports students’ emotional and spiritual growth. Students, he said, will be able to sit in on classes and gauge what it feels like to be part of the school’s community.  \n“You really get to see and feel the energy of a school,” said Jean Cousins, director of admissions  \nat Paramus Catholic High School in Paramus.  \ncation Consulting & Tutoring in Los Angeles and New York City, said that most include a tour of the school, a general information or Q&A session with  \nA WEEK “You can expect to  \nOF OUTREACH National Catholic Schools Week has been celebrated on the last week of January since 1974.  \nLed by the National Catholic Educational Association, schools will hold Masses, open houses and other activities for students and their families, prospective students and the community.  \nengage in conversations from those teaching students,  \nSee SCHOOLSon Page 38  \n37  \nNew York Post, Wednesday, January 22, 2025 [nypost.com](nypost.com)  \nAdobe Stock  \n38  \n􀀁 New York Post, Wednesday, January 22, 2025 ny post.com Adobe Stock  \nCatholic Schools Week Directory   \nMany Catholic schools foster diversity in the classroom, and offer more personalized teaching.  \nA FOOT IN THE DOOR  \nadmissions counselor at IvyWise in Portland, Maine, advising","cbCaigJtprkDNzgm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigJtprkDNzgm","pdf",4575423,14,"English","# Catholic Schools Week Directory\n## The “three Es” admissions approach\n## Open houses and school events\n## Diversity, values, and a well-rounded applicant\n## Networking during admissions","[{\"question\":\"What are the “three Es” for choosing a Catholic school?\",\"answer\":\"Admissions pros recommend exploring by researching schools and speaking with current families, experiencing through open houses or listed events, and envisioning by attending a shadow day to imagine belonging to the community.\"},{\"question\":\"Why attend open houses or admissions events?\",\"answer\":\"These events let families meet teachers and administrators, ask questions, connect with current students, and often tour the school or sit in on activities so they can feel the school’s energy.\"},{\"question\":\"How should families present a student in the admissions process?\",\"answer\":\"Families are encouraged to emphasize alignment with the school’s mission and to show the student as well-rounded—highlighting extracurricular interests, leadership, teamwork, and commitment beyond academics.\"}]","Catholic Schools Week Directory - An Insider’s Guide to Catholic School Admissions | PDF",35]
