We are currently accepting applications for the 2008-2009 school year.
Admissions Policy
St. Ambrose Academy admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs. Due to the unique nature of St. Ambrose Academy, space is very limited. Interested parents should contact the school as soon as possible to obtain an admission packet.

All students are initially on probation. Probation is maintained until it is observed that the student is able to function in the program, and that the home gives the student direction and support in the area of homework and requires from the student obedience to school rules and policy.

Financial Aid

Scholarships are awarded on an annual basis. St. Ambrose uses an independent needs-assessment service to determine a family's scholarship needs. The financial aid procedures begin after a student is admitted to St. Ambrose Academy. Our goal is that no qualified student be turned away from St. Ambrose for want of funds.
