HIGH SCHOOL ADMISSIONS PROCESS
Individualized Attention
Our 8th graders are regularly accepted into the top two Catholic high schools of their choice, while other students elect to attend local Independent or public high schools. A key advantage to our small school community is the individualized attention that each student and family receives during the high school admissions process. Students begin the process at the end of 7th grade and are continuously guided throughout 8th grade.
