FAQ's: 

You probably have a few questions as a new applicant to St. Benilde. We’ve put together a list of the most frequently asked questions from parents.

Is there an application deadline?

The short answer to this question is that there is NO application deadline. However, the sooner your application is submitted, the better your chances are that there will be a space available in the grade for which you are applying. Generally, we recommend that students submit applications by the first week of January. 

What is involved in the application process? What are the requirements for applying?

The admissions process usually takes one to two weeks. However, depending on how soon the application and supporting documents are submitted, the timeline could change. Please be aware that enrollment and registration for new students typically takes place in late February. The admissions process is designed to ensure that all applicants have an equal opportunity to attend Saint Benilde. We accept students from all faiths, races, and economic backgrounds. Applications are accepted year round, and students can be admitted any time during the school year. A successful applicant demonstrates a willingness to perform to the best of his or her  abilities and contribute positively to the Saint Benilde community. The Admissions Committee will review all of the information provided by the applicant, his family and his most recent school during the admissions process. After making its decision, the Admissions Committee will notify the applicant’s parent(s). To complete the online application, click here. To download the admissions checklist click here.
