Admissions Information

Welcome to the Admissions Department of Albertus Magnus High School! Selecting a high school can be intimidating for prospective students and parents. Our student ambassadors, faculty, coaches and moderators are available to help you decide if Albertus Magnus should be your "home away from home" for the next four years. Preparing students for college/university education is our primary goal. By offering an outstanding academic program, sports, drama, student government, service and extra-curricular activities, our students are well prepared for life at the college level and beyond.

Key information about Albertus Magnus High School that prospective parents/students should consider include:

• Albertus Magnus offers regents, honors, college and AP courses. We are accredited by the NYS Board of Regents and Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.
• We are a Catholic, co-educational institution of 450 young men and women.

I urge you to come and experience first hand life and learning at Albertus Magnus High School. Parents and students have an opportunity to meet our teachers and review curriculum, consider our extra-curricular activities and speak with Student and Parent Ambassadors at Open House. The first Open House is scheduled for Sunday, October 18, 2009 beginning at 11:00 AM, followed by an evening Open House on Thursday, October 22nd at 7:00 PM.  Students may also schedule an individual visit during the school year by registering online under Admissions, Falcon-for-a-Day link or contacting my office. Our calendar contains information about upcoming sporting and dramatic events and we hope you will take advantage of these fun activities.

I look forward to working with you during this exciting time. Please contact me at npower@albertusmagnus.net if I can be of any assistance.
