Welcome from Director of Admissions, Gretchen Ridgely
Dear Future Comet Parents:
Welcome to Saint Benedict Catholic School - RVA's oldest parochial school - now in our 105th year of service! We look forward to sharing with you our wonderful community and talking with you about what makes a Saint Benedict Catholic School education so special. Faithfully Catholic, we offer a challenging classical curriculum that prepares our students for high school and beyond in an amazing small-school community where each child is known, loved and supported throughout their journey with us.
For the 24-25 Academic Year, we have very limited space available at this point in time. Please contact me at admissions@saintbenedictschool.org as soon as possible to determine if we are still accepting applications for the grade/s you are interested in.
For the 25-26 Academic Year, the Application will be live on OCTOBER 1, 2024, and I encourage you to apply as soon as you are ready. As you begin your research into our school, please complete our inquiry form so we can connect with you, keep you informed about our admissions timeline, schedule a tour and help you throughout the admissions process. Once you've applied, you'll be contacted for an assessment visit beginning in January 2025.
Be sure to submit your application and have your assessment completed before our first-round consideration deadline of January 31st. First-round contracts will be offered immediately after we complete re-enrollment of our current students in the beginning of February.
As a mother of two SBCS graduates - I am well familiar with the admissions journey you are on, and I look forward to sharing with you our amazing little school that has been blessed to serve so many of Richmond's families since 1919!
Go Comets!
Gretchen Ridgely
Director of Admissions & Development
