Online Enrollment Management System

An online account in GRACE’s enrollment management system, TADS, is required to complete the admission and enrollment processes.

To set up your account, please select your GRACE school of choice from the list below. Once you select your school, you will be immediately taken to the TADS website to create an account. Follow the instructions within TADS to complete the admission application for the 2024-25 academic year for your child and “Submit” when finished. 

Once an admission application is submitted, please follow through on directions provided to you within the application process and wait for further communication. All admission applications undergo review, and the process is not immediate. This review may require an interview or provision of additional information for which you will be contacted by the school office to arrange. Once an admission application is accepted, an email will convey the acceptance and instructions to complete the online enrollment process.

Enrollment

An email from the school via tads.com will convey formal acceptance of an admission application and instructions to complete the online enrollment process. The online enrollment process involves the following important steps. All steps must be completed in their entirety to reserve each child’s seat for the 2024-25 academic year.

Step 1

Answer required enrollment registration questions for each child.

Step 2

Pay the enrollment fee. This is a per-family non-refundable fee per the enrollment fee schedule applicable at the time of enrollment (see our Tuition and Fees webpage). The TADS system will request the enrollment fee be paid after the registration questions are answered for the first child. If there are additional children to enroll, be sure to continue to complete the registration questions for remaining children and then complete Steps 3 and 4.

Step 3

Create your tuition agreement. Once the enrollment registration questions have been completed for each child and the enrollment fee has been paid, the tuition agreement must be created. Tuition and fees will be outlined along with terms and conditions requiring acknowledgement.

Step 4 

Set up your billing account and payment plan. This step entails design of your payment plan by selecting the desired payment method and schedule from established options. Payment plans begin July 1, 2024.

Step 5 (optional)

After completion of the enrollment process:

  • Parish Verification: To obtain the Active Parishioner Incentive, complete the 2024-25 Parish Verification Form with your GRACE-affiliated parish. Submit your completed 2024-25 Parish Verification Form to the GRACE Riverside Office by June 1, 2024. Details regarding the Active Parishioner Incentive are available on the Tuition and Fees webpage and the Parish Verification Form webpage.
