NEW Student Application

Thank you for your interest in Bishop Kearney. For 50 years Bishop Kearney has been empowering young men and women (grade 7-12) to reach their full potential - academically, spiritually, and socially - by providing a values based Catholic education in a student centered family atmosphere.

Today, Bishop Kearney is thriving with its new academic vision that offers a Catholic education with a college preparatory curriculum and cutting edge technology.

If you think your child will thrive in a close knit school setting where our focus is on enriching each student as a whole, we encourage you to download and complete our application and request for student records release form and return it to our admissions office, at

125 Kings Highway South
Rochester, NY 14617

We encourage all families to schedule a tour as well as an appointment for your child to shadow a Bishop Kearney student for a day.

Our admissions committee will review your child's application which will include:
Application form, request for student records release form, academic and attendance records, results from state assessments and the entrance exam, as well as any other information that you feel is necessary for the admissions committee to be aware of.

Student applications will be received and reviewed on a rolling basis, with admissions decisions made within a month of receiving a completed application. Tuition assistance may be applied for students who will be entering grades 9-12.
