Comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations are an essential tool in helping a child achieve their greatest potential. Each de Paul family is asked to provide a recent evaluation (within 3 years) or arrange for an evaluation as part of the admissions process. The Admissions Office can offer guidance and support.

Step 3

Assess

Each prospective student must also have an academic assessment at de Paul to evaluate current achievement levels and eligibility. The assessment is followed by a report and feedback to families. This information helps us determine if The de Paul School can meet the educational, organizational, and social needs of the child via our curriculum and methodologies.

Step 4

Shadow

After reviewing application materials and the assessment, we may schedule an opportunity for the child to spend time in our classrooms. This will give them a chance to meet some of the Huskies and experience de Paul for themselves.
