We operate rolling admissions with no deadlines; typically the Admissions Committee makes a decision within two weeks of receiving all required documents, though July and August may take longer.

Yes, to efficiently manage admissions and ensure optimal class sizes, Benedetto XV may maintain a waiting list when specific grade levels reach capacity during the admissions period. This practice helps balance enrollment and maintain a favorable and enriching learning environment for all students.
