Thank you for your interest in St. Martin de Porres Academy. We are a faith based NativityMiguel middle school that provides tuition free, extended day education for underserved girls and boys from low-income families in the greater New Haven area. We are an independent Catholic school committed to a belief in the dignity and worth of every person. We strive to provide each child with a promising start in life and to equip them to fulfill their academic potential while achieving spiritual and social maturity. We welcome children of all faiths, races and cultures.

In order to be considered for admission, a child must:

• Come from a family of low income, limited resources and be at risk of not achieving their potential
• Have the ability to learn without special services
• Be free of serious emotional and behavioral problems that disrupt life in the classroom
• Have one committed adult who will support the child in their educational endeavors at Saint Martin de Porres Academy & beyond
• Possess the desire to be their best self

The Admissions Process consists of four steps:

• Complete the application and mail it to the school with your $35.00 nonrefundable application fee (cash, money order or credit card – no personal checks will be accepted).
• Once the application has been received, we will contact you to schedule an interview and tour.
• After the interview with you and your child, we will contact you to schedule a shadow day.
• Finally, your child will need to complete the entrance exam (date TBA).

Students will be notified of their acceptance by the end of May. If you have any questions or concerns about the application process, please contact the school at 203-772-2424.
