If you are looking to register a student in one of our Catholic elementary or secondary schools, you have found the right place! Whether you are starting your journey with us in Kindergarten or transferring from another school board, this page will walk you through the first steps in the online registration process.
For families registering for our Kindergarten program, we encourage you to take advantage of the information and resources available on our Kindergarten page before returning to this page to start the registration process.
Children who are baptized Catholic, or have a parent who is Catholic, are automatically eligible for registration in their local PVNC Catholic school.
ADMISSION OF NON-CATHOLIC STUDENTS: If your child has not been baptized Catholic, please review section 3 of Administrative Procedure 206 – Admission to Catholic Schools for information on registration.
All secondary school-aged students and their parents/guardians must accept and recognize the distinctive Catholic character and culture that pervades the Catholic secondary school community and must be willing to support its purpose, goals, and expectations. This includes enrolment in a Religion and Family Life course during each year of secondary school.
