We are thrilled you are considering a Bishop Schad education! At Bishop Schad Regional School, your child will develop a deeper sense of self through our teachings of the Gospel values and make the most of their unique potential to become a thoughtful and articulate leader. They will join a warm and vibrant community of families of diverse backgrounds and develop an innate concern for others.
​
The admission process at BSR is about much more than just interviews and forms. It’s about taking the time to really get to know our prospective students and their families. It’s about working carefully to shape a student body that represents a broad range of socioeconomic backgrounds, ethnic cultures, and religious affiliations.
​
We at BSR pride ourselves on giving families the attention, responsiveness, and care they deserve.
​
On that end we have put together multiple online resources for you to discover as much about us as you possibly can.​ We hope these resources prove helpful, and look forward to sharing more information about Bishop Schad's admission process with you via email, on the phone, or in person.​
