Students in 8th grade will have the opportunity to sit for one (1) standardized test (HSPT) and have their scores sent to up to three (3) of the 15 Archdiocesan High Schools of their choice for potential consideration of academic scholarship opportunities.
Students currently enrolled in any one of the 102 Archdiocese of Philadelphia elementary schools or the 14 Independence Mission Schools, will be administered the Collaborative Testing Process in their school building between the testing period of Monday, September 25th and Friday, September 28th.
