Notes for Prospective Students
Thank you for your interest in Saint Matthew School. Students
of all faiths and backgrounds are encouraged to apply. The
Admissions process usually begins with a campus visit. We host
several fall events for parents and/or families and private tours
are also available. Students who are interested in attending
Saint Matthew School are encouraged to submit an application.
There are separate applications for pre-kindergarten & kindergarten
and grades 1-8. Applications for immediate and future
enrollment are accepted at any time during the school
year. For fall enrollment, applications for
pre-kindergarten and kindergarten are strongly encouraged by
November 12, 2024. Rising Kindergarten students who apply by
November 12 will be eligible for their screening appointment in
January and be given priority for acceptance. Applications
for fall enrollment for grades 1-8 are encouraged by November 12,
2024. Admission decisions are made by the Principal and
Advancement Director, based on information submitted with an
application. If no opening is available, students are placed
in a waiting pool. Priority enrollment is offered to children
of SMS faculty/staff, siblings of existing students, contributing
parishioners of Saint Matthew Church, and legacy students (defined
as a child of a graduate of SMS), followed by families belonging to
other Catholic parishes in the metro Nashville area. Catholic
families moving from out of the area will receive participating
priority upon proof of participating status at their new and
departed parishes.
