New Student Enrollment Process

At St. Vincent de Paul Catholic School, a Daughters of Charity school, we are guided by the Vincentian charism of education, rooted in faith, service, humility, and love for those most in need. We believe every child is a beloved creation of God and deserves the opportunity to receive a faith-filled Catholic education. Guided by our mission and the teachings of the Catholic Church, we strive to make Catholic education accessible and affordable for all families.

In accordance with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix, St. Vincent de Paul Catholic School admits Catholic and non-Catholic students of any race, color, national origin, or gender, and welcomes all families into our Christ-centered community. We are committed to walking alongside each family to help ensure that a Catholic education at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic School becomes a reality for your child.
