We are excited you are considering joining the Class of 2029 at Nardin Academy! Please use the following information to help guide you through the admissions process.

Application

Online Applications for the CLASS of 2029: As a part of the WNY Catholic Schools consortium, all incoming 9th grade applicants must complete two applications for Admission.  FIRST, complete the Catholic High Schools of WNY application here: WNY CATHOLIC APP and indicate NARDIN ACADEMY AS FIRST CHOICE.  Next,  create an account in the Nardin Academy Admissions Portal NARDIN ADMISSIONS PORTAL. This will invite you to create a Blackbaud Account.  

Transcripts and Letter of Recommendation

Nardin requires one letter of recommendation, either academic or from a non-academic person in your life such as a coach, dance teacher, music instructor, troop leader, or from community leaders where you perform service. We look forward to learning about your character, sportsmanship, leadership, work ethic, compassion, and any other traits that help us learn more about who you are. A transcript release form must also be sent to your child’s current school. The recommendations and the transcript release forms can be found in your child’s checklist once you’ve created an online account.
