Non-discrimination Policy

The schools of the Archdiocese of New Orleans, Louisiana, admit 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 its schools. They do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin or disability in the administration of their educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs. Information used in applications will not be used for any unlawful or discriminatory purpose.  Additionally, in compliance with Title IX of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, no person in the schools of the Archdiocese of New Orleans shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, or be denied the benefits of or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity except as permitted under said Title IX.  This policy applies to all schools which are under Catholic Archdiocesan auspices.  

St. Christopher School is open to all children regardless of religion, race, sex, color, nationality, or ethnic origin; however, priority preference will be given to children of the Roman Catholic religion.  All rights, privileges, programs, and activities are available to all of our students.  St. Christopher School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national, or ethnic origin, or disability in violation of state law and federal law or regulation in the administration of its educational policies or programs.  The information provided in the application process will not be used for any unlawful discriminatory purpose.

The application does not guarantee the possibility of a place in the school if the school is not able to serve the needs of the student.  There is an Individual Needs Committee (INC) to consider student academic concerns as professionally recommended.  SCS does make minor adjustments/accommodations for those students who have current educational evaluations.

All students are admitted to the school with the understanding and on the condition that they will be able to meet all requirements of school life, including academic requirements, behavior requirements, and financial requirements.


Policy regarding placement of "multiples"

Please note: To foster the opportunity for  students to  grow individually in  an academic setting, St. Christopher School  tries to separate “mutliples” (i.e. twins, triplets, etc.) in grades 3rd-7th grade.
