School Open House
We are a community of unique learners, always growing and learning.
100 YEARS OF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE - One of the first Catholic schools on the southside of Chicago, St. Barnabas is a beacon of faith, kindness, and community. Open to students in Preschool-Grade 8, our beautifully maintained campus is home to close to 500 students. We set high academic expectations for all of our students and provide a nurturing environment and numerous levels of support to ensure their success. Rooted in faith, tradition, and friendship, our parish school empowers students to develop their unique capabilities to live, lead, and serve in an ever-changing global society.
ENROLLMENT PROCESS - The online enrollment application for the 2025-2026 school year will open on Sunday, January 26. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis until enrollment capacity has been met. We encourage all families to submit the enrollment application when it opens online in January, as applications are reviewed in the order they are received. Siblings of currently enrolled students, followed by registered, active parishioners, are given priority registration. Non-Catholic/non-parishioner enrollment applications are then reviewed for acceptance.
UPCOMING ADMISSIONS EVENTS
The online enrollment application will be available on our website beginning Sunday, January 26.
