In keeping with the Mission Statement of Seton Catholic High School and the goals for Catholic Schools for the Diocese of Phoenix, the admissions policy fosters and maintains both the Catholicity and the diversity of the Seton Catholic community. Seton Catholic is a co-educational four-year college preparatory school that accepts students according to the following criteria:

  • Testing: All students applying for grade nine must take the standardized entrance exam administered at Seton Catholic. This exam is administered in January of the eighth grade year.
  • Application: A complete application package must be submitted by January 23. Applications received after the deadline may be waitlisted.
  • Interview: Formal interview to include student, parents and a member of the Admissions Interview Committee.

In general, the Admissions Committee takes into consideration all of the above information plus the following:

  • Current students of Catholic schools and students attending public or other private schools where the student him/herself is and has been actively involved in his/her parish community. "Actively involved" is defined as: consistent attendance in religious education, attending Mass regularly, and involved in ministry.
  • Non-Catholic students who have not attended Catholic schools, where the student him/herself is and has been actively involved with his/her church community.

Other factors are:

  • Family members who are currently enrolled in, or are alumni of, the Seton Catholic High School community.
  • Children of faculty and staff.
  • GPA if applying to grades ten through twelve.
