For incoming freshmen, during the fall of his/her 8th grade year is the perfect time to apply. Applications for the 2026-2027 school year will open October 21, 2025. Students should complete the application by Dec. 31.
Acceptances for the following school year begin in mid-December and continue through January. Wait list notifications, if deemed appropriate due to class size and capacity, are generally sent after the new year. Admissions then functions on a rolling basis if no wait lists are deemed necessary. Students are notified of their acceptance via a letter mailed home. In some cases, a student may be asked to take part in an interview prior to acceptance.
While preference is given to students attending a Catholic grade-school in the Diocese of Columbus that is specified to feed into Newark Catholic, we admit students from diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds.
For all applicants, average or better academic achievement and satisfactory discipline and attendance records are factors considered for admission.

After your student has been accepted, the next step is to complete enrollment. Families will receive a link via email shortly after receiving their acceptance letter in the mail.
After enrollment, you will move into the onboarding phase of your NC journey. During this phase, we will help your family start to build a connection with the school. A main priority during this time will be to provide you with information that’s clear, meaningful and relevant. We’ll walk you through important next steps like placement testing, scheduling, registering for welcome week and much more.
No, but you will need to complete a re-enrollment process. Information will be sent to families of currently enrolled students in the spring.
