Admissions

You can either use our on-line application or download and complete a paper application.  Both are available here.

We welcome students of all religious affiliations at St. Mary Magdalene School.  Families that receive the Catholic tuition rate must demonstrate an active Catholic parish participation of Time, Talent and Treasure.  We ask StMM parish members to strive to contribute $100 to the parish each month.  Some of this goes to provide school subsidy and some goes to the everyday expenses of the parish.  Your local Catholic parish might have a different financial expectation, but will still require identifiable Time, Talent and Treasure contributions.

If you are relocating to our area, you will need to submit a Parent Ministry form to your current Catholic parish for their signature, and will need to register at one of the local parishes after your move.

Families of other faiths will be charged the non-Catholic rate and are not required to complete the Parent Ministry form.

The State of NC and the Diocese of Raleigh both require that children are five by August 31 of the year that they start kindergarten.  St. Mary Magdalene follows this guideline with no exceptions.

All students in grades 5-8 have Spanish class twice each week.

Every year we have students come to StMM from a variety of public schools.  Our middle school teachers are very good at helping these students get acclimated to StMM.  Religion classes are a combination of faith activities in the classroom and traditional 'book' learning and our experience is that new students quickly become accustomed to the work.  It is much the same with Spanish class - the teachers help the new students get caught up, even if they have not had Spanish class in the past.

Elective classes vary from year-to-year, but typically we offer band, handbells, art 1 (drawing), chorus, sculpting, astronomy, world cultures, drama, PE games and photography/yearbook.  Most classes are one semester; band and yearbook are year-long classes.  Some classes are offered only to 8th grade students.  Each 7th and 8th grade student will have two semesters of electives each year.  Electives are typically three days per week.

Yes to all!  We are blessed to have a very rich curriculum, and offer all of the arts, religious programs and extra-curricular items listed.
