Des Moines Regional Catholic Schools

In January 2022, the 12 Catholic schools in Des Moines formed a new entity – Des Moines Regional Catholic Schools. The regional model allows Catholic schools to centralize business functions, leverage collective resources, and implement best business practices to sustain the future of Catholic education within the Diocese of Des Moines.
 

Regionalization is underway, and the admissions procedures across Catholic schools are changing. Contact Joni Swedenhjelm at the Des Moines Regional Catholic Schools Office at jswedenhjelm@dowlingcatholic.org or 515-222-1051 for details.

Enrollment Priority

The Region prioritizes current students and their siblings first, members of Catholic parishes second, and the general community third. The Region and school administrators accept applicants based on the application time stamp, available space, admissions review processes, and consideration for students’ best interests.

Current Students & Families

Apply October 1, 2023, through November 15, 2023.

The Region defines “current” as a family with at least one student enrolled in Early Childhood through 12th grade during the 2023-2024 school year, and prioritizes current families based on longevity at school and the application time stamp. Current families can re-enroll Early Childhood through 11th-grade students, apply for younger children to enter Early Childhood or Kindergarten, and apply for older students to transfer from public schools.

Registered & Participating Parishioners

Apply December 1, 2023, through January 26, 2024.

The Region defines “parishioner” as participating and tithing members of Holy Trinity Parish, other Regional parishes with schools, other Regional parishes without schools, and parishes outside the Region. The Region prioritizes parishioners based on longevity at the parish and the application time stamp.

General Community
