Application

Thank you for your interest in Corpus Christi School. If you are registering your child(ren) at our school, this page contains all the forms and instructions needed. Some forms are based on the age of the child OR whether a family is Catholic or another faith. Please read the instructions carefully. If you have any additional questions regarding admissions, please feel free to send an email to info@corpuschristischool.org.
You can also contact Mrs. Doak the Elementary/Middle School Campus (Grades 1-8) at 703-820-7450 x16 or Mrs. Ann Stich at the Early Childhood Center Campus (Preschool - Kindergarten) at 703-573-4570.

Re-registration for students currently attending Corpus Christi begins around the last week of January through mid-February. Registration opens to the public for 2012-13 on Tuesday, February 21, 2012. However, applications can be submitted anytime prior to this date. For kindergarten through eighth grade, a $25 non-refundable application fee must accompany the application.

For international students, there are two additional steps in the application process. First, Corpus Christi must assess a student's English oral and written skill level and grade placement. Then if Corpus Christi accepts an international student, an I-20 form must be completed by the family and the school. The school then submits the application to the Diocese which processes the I-20 request which takes about one week. For more details, please visit the following Diocesan link, International Students .

To find out more about the application process, attending an open house or scheduling a tour, our school uniforms and any necessary medical plans your child might need, please check out these sections:

The rectory will return it to the school. If a family is out-of-parish then they must submit a parish envelope or letter from the parish at which they are currently registered.

School Uniform
back to top


Corpus Christi has a long history of a school uniform both as a source of tradition and pride. We embrace the benefits of school uniforms for the following reasons:
  • Simplifies dressing and dress code
  • Reduces peer pressure and social stigmas
  • Encourages distinctions of character and personality instead of appearance
  • Places emphasis on learning, not clothing
  • Equalizes economic diversity
  • Facilitates security by identifying outsiders
  • Enhances school spirit
Our school uniforms are worn daily and change according to the season. Flynn and O'Hara is our designated uniform store, located in Fairfax, Virginia. Their website is: www.flynnohara.com.

Note that PE uniforms are purchased through the school during the first two weeks of school. Students will be fitted and receive a warm weather PE uniform right after Labor Day. The sweats will be delivered in late October/early November.
