We’re excited to help your family begin the admissions process at York Catholic. The steps below will guide you through everything from connecting with Admissions and submitting an application to exploring Family Customized Tuition and preparing for enrollment.

YC Admissions Process Step by Step

The YC admissions process is designed to be straightforward, supportive, and easy to navigate. Select each step below to learn what to expect throughout the admissions process, from your first conversation with the Admissions Team through enrollment. Students applying from York Catholic Partner Schools enjoy a simplified process, as many required records will be shared directly with our Admissions team.

Every family’s journey begins with a conversation. Connect with our Admissions team to ask questions, learn more about York Catholic, and schedule a personal tour or VIP Day, or attend an Open House to experience our welcoming community firsthand.

Prospective students spend the day at York Catholic alongside a current student, attending classes, meeting teachers, connecting with future classmates, and getting a firsthand look at daily life on campus.

Complete your online application through the Focus Parent Portal. You’ll be prompted to create an account before beginning the application, and our Admissions team is available if you need assistance along the way.

After submitting your application, complete the Family Customized Tuition process. Once your information has been reviewed, you’ll receive your personalized tuition contribution. You can also explore opportunities to support financial aid at York Catholic through Pennsylvania’s Tax Credit programs.

Once accepted, we’ll help make your student’s transition to his or her new school seamless and welcoming. From enrollment to orientation and beyond, you’ll have support every step of the way.

Congratulations! Information for Accepted Students.
