We are currently accepting New Students!

Don’t overthink it! You can learn more and apply now.
We’d love to hear from you! Feel free to reach out by phone at 304-242-5844 or email us at jperoni@stvincentschool.org.
Once you get in touch, we’ll send you a Student Enrollment Application Form to complete, or you can click here to access it online.
Next, you’ll meet with our principal to review your application, explore the curriculum, discuss expectations, and learn about tuition assistance opportunities. During your visit, you can also enjoy a tour of our school!
We also invite prospective students to spend a day shadowing a student in their grade level. Shadowing is flexible and can be scheduled at your convenience. Our school day runs from 8:15 AM to 3:15 PM, and it’s a great way to experience life at SVS firsthand!
SVS is everything we wanted in a preschool for Lincoln—and more! Since enrolling, I’ve been amazed at how much Lincoln has flourished. SVS is more than a school; it’s a fantastic community, and we feel so lucky to be a part of it!
The following policies have been adopted to clearly articulate how enrollment decisions will be determined. If the application is received by the deadline and student meets the school’s admissions criteria, student will be further considered for enrollment. Students will be selected and placed in the school based on the maximum capacity of classrooms as set by the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston according to the following categories in order:
- Currently enrolled students in good standing.
- Siblings of students currently enrolled.
- Students currently enrolled and in good standing at another school in the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston.
- Catholic children of participating parishioners who are siblings or children of a graduate of the School.
- Children of parishioners who are registered, contributing and participating members of the School Parish (or if a central school, one of the participating parishes).*
- Children of parishioners who are registered, contributing, and participating members at another Catholic parish within the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston.*
- Non-Catholic students (Non-Catholic students will be enrolled or added to a waiting list in the order of applications received).
* Families can obtain a form from their parish that is to be signed by the pastor and submitted to the school at application.
Wait List
- Students not selected for admission due to class size limits, will automatically be placed on a wait list.
- If an opening becomes available, students on the wait list will be given priority for those openings in the same order of preference as detailed in the Admission Eligibility protocols.
- The wait list will exist for the current academic year only.
- The wait list will be established after the enrollment process for the upcoming school year has ended and will terminate when that school year ends.
