2026-27 NEW FAMILY ENROLLMENT FEE: A $200.00, non-refundable, enrollment fee is required for NEW 2026-2027 families. Payment may be made by cash or check (payable to "St. Cletus School") and submitted to the school office at 700 W. 55th Street, La Grange, IL 60525.

PRE-K 4 DUAL LANGUAGE IMMERSION (DLI) PROGRAM FOR 2026-27: In partnership with the University of Notre Dame and the Archdiocese of Chicago, we are continuing to offer this program at St. Cletus School for the third school year. The DLI program is a form of bilingual education in which students are taught literacy and academic content in Spanish and English, with the goal of achieving fluency in both languages by eighth-grade graduation. Pre-K 3-year-old students begin learning with the daily, half-hour Early Childhood Language Intensive Program (ECLIP) Spanish immersion class. Pre-K 4-year-old DLI students begin full-day Spanish immersion combined with English learning with the goal of continuing their DLI enrollment through 8th grade. Studies show that Pre-K 4 DLI students who continue their enrollment through 8th grade (a) perform as well as or better than their peers in non-dual language classrooms; (b) develop intercultural and global abilities that prepare them to succeed in today's increasingly competitive global society; and (c) develop academic proficiency in both the English and Spanish languages. For additional information about the DLI program, visit our Dual Language Immersion Informational Webpage or contact Frank Ochoa at fochoa@stcletusparish.com.
