Admissions Process

1. If interested, or at any time in the process, interested students should schedule a student shadow visit with Marisol Menchaca (mmenchaca@notredamesalinas.org) or a parent tour.
2. Students should fill out the application online (found below). As part of this process, the students should request transcripts from current school and recommendations. The links can also be found at the end of the application.
3. Once application has been received, the principal will reach out to schedule a short Zoom interview. Or if you’d like to schedule, Dr. Uhl can be reached at tuhl@notredamesalinas.org 
4. Once the student has been accepted, families should fill out the FACTS financial assistance form. Directions can be found here.
5. Notre Dame uses the STAR test as a placement exam. If you’re enrolled at a school which uses the STAR, those results will be automatically forwarded to Notre Dame. If you don’t attend a STAR-school, you’ll need to reach out to schedule an exam. Marisol Menchaca can arrange this (mmenchaca@notredamesalinas.org).
