8th Grade Scholarship Test

As part of a new initiative this year, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia has developed a Collaborative Testing platform. Any 8th grade student wishing to take the 8th Grade Scholarship Test (High School Placement Test) will only need to do so one time and scores will be made available to up to three Archdiocesan High Schools of your choice for scholarship awarding review. You will be able to rank these schools in order of preference. This Collaborative Test will be offered to all families free of charge.
 
  • AOP Elementary and Independence Mission Schools of the Archdiocese 8th graders will not have to pre-register and will take the test in their current grade school the week of September 25th.
 
  • 8th graders who attend Public/Private/Charter/Other can sign up to take the test at O'Hara on the dates listed. Registration is required via the button below.
