Enrollment at Immaculate Heart of Mary is a privilege and open to Catholic and Non-Catholic students. Immaculate Heart of Mary School offers a scholastic program from Pre-K through Grade 8. Pre-registration for the coming year is held in the spring for currently enrolled students. Based on availability in each class, new students may also register at this time. To enter any grade, evidence of satisfactory achievement, promotion, and behavior from the school last attended must be provided. Admitted students are monitored for nine weeks. At the end of the nine weeks, the Principal, in consultation with the Pastor, reserves the right to determine if the student is to remain at the school.
