Admissions Policy
QND admits eligible students of any race, color, gender, national origin, ethnic origin, and disability, which can be reasonably accommodated, in the administration of its educational policies, admission policies, scholarships and loan programs and athletic and school administered programs.
The minimum age for admission is 13 years of age for ninth grade. The student must have passed eighth grade. The maximum age of 19 years of age is mandatory for a student seeking admission as a senior.
For all applicants, the following information will be taken into consideration for possible admittance to QND: Placement test results (if taken), Previous academic records, Previous attendance records, Previous behavior records
Students with disabilities will be accepted on a case-by-case basis in order to evaluate the capacity of the school to meet the needs of the student. Additionally, students from a non-certified private school or from a home school environment will also be accepted on a case-by-case basis.
If the information gathered indicates that QND does not have the educational program which best serves the needs of the student, the student will not be accepted.
QND accepts students of other faiths for admission. However, if enrollment is close to capacity, QND will give preference to Catholic students registered in an area-wide Catholic parish.
Students will be taught the teachings of the Catholic Church as part of the curriculum. In choosing to attend QND, parents pledge their full cooperation to the school in preparing our students to be disciples of Jesus Christ. It is our collective responsibility to nurture students in their faith journey at QND.
Once admitted to QND, continued enrollment in the school shall be based upon the fulfillment of all academic, financial and other required obligations of both students and parents.
