Transfer Admissions

Students who have attended other secondary schools must enter Bourgade Catholic High School with the appropriate credits from an accredited high school.  Minimum transfer credits for admission are:
  • Sophomores      6 credits (4 core credits in Math, English, Theology, Science)
  • Juniors                12 credits (9 core credits in Math, English, Social Studies, Theology, Science)

Normally, Bourgade Catholic does not accept transfers for senior year.  Consideration will be given to families relocating from out of town.

Official transcripts from all schools attended will be reviewed to determine admission and course placement for transfer students.  Bourgade Catholic reserves the right to not accept credit earned from some on-line institutions/programs. 

Additionally, the transfer student should have good discipline and attendance records from his or her most recently attended school. 

 Transfer student admission process includes:
  • Submission of a completed Application for Admission 
  • $50 application fee; application cannot be accepted nor processed without the fee
  • Transcript of grades and standardized test results from all secondary schools attended
  • Completed recommendation forms from: 1) an administrator or dean, 2) a counselor, 3) and either a math or English teacher from current or most recently attended school
  • Student and parent/guardian interview with the Admissions Coordinator the Principal

To be considered for financial aid, application deadline of April 15, 2023 must be met.  Please note that financial aid is limited; not all families will receive assistance.  Families applying after this deadline are unlikely to receive financial assistance from Bourgade Catholic.
