ADMISSIONS PROCESS
WELCOME TO THE ADMISSIONS PROCESS AT NARDIN ACADEMY UPPER SCHOOL
Applying to a new school can be overwhelming. The admissions team at Nardin is here to help make the application process as easy as possible. Please use the following timeline to help guide you.
Class of 2028 Admissions Process
Application
Applications must be filled out through Catholic High Schools of Western New York. As applications are received via the Catholic High Schools of WNY process, we will then create an account for your child in Nardin's admissions portal, Blackbaud. You will be invited to finish setting up your family's account in Blackbaud, which is where the rest of the application process will be completed.
Transcripts
The curriculum at Nardin is focused on your success, and your transcripts provide us with greater insight on your future as a Nardin student. The transcripts should come from your current school and contain a minimum of two complete years (6th and 7th grade) as well as the first quarter of your courses of the current academic year (8th grade). Transcripts can be requested from your child's school directly through your Nardin Academy Blackbaud account.
Letter of Recommendation
Nardin requires one letter of recommendation, either academic or from a non-academic person in your life such as a coach, dance teacher, music instructor, troop leader, or from community leaders where you perform service. We look forward to learning about your character, sportsmanship, leadership, work ethic, compassion, and any other traits that help us learn more about who you are.
If you believe Nardin Academy is the right fit for your child, we can help you make this opportunity a reality and a financial possibility for your family. For more information about our Tuition Assistance program and how to apply, click the link below.
