Catholic High Schools can be very expensive. The Archdiocese of Philadelphia is providing scholarship/placement tests held at Holy Redeemer the week of September 25th.
The testing period for these students will take place between Monday, September 25th through Friday, September 28th. The scholarship test will be administered during the school day at your child’s elementary school. There is no fee to take the test. Your student will have the opportunity to take the test one time and send the results to up to 3 of the 15 Archdiocesan high schools. Remember there is not a pre-registration process.
Many of the schools have open houses, shadow days (where you follow a student for a day), and also days for 7th graders. Go to the website for more information. The dates for the 2023 open houses are listed below.
