8th Grade Scholarship Test Information

For the first time ever, the Catholic grade schools in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia will be offering a universal 8th grade scholarship test in their classrooms. If your child attends one of these parish or regional partner schools, the test will be scheduled during the final week of September. When filling out the pre-test form, students can elect to send the results of the scholarship test to up to three of the 15 Archdiocesan high schools of their choice. Please discuss the options with your student, and be sure your child will select Lansdale Catholic High School as one of the receiving schools to be considered for an academic scholarship at LC. If your student does not select LC when filling out their test form, they will not be included in our pool of scholarship candidates. Click to read more.

This diocesan-wide testing process was updated with our partner school families in mind. Students can now take the test just once in their own classrooms, and families will not have to spend multiple fall weekends traveling to high school scholarship tests. Please note that students who wish to be considered for scholarships at private high schools in the area must still take their individual scholarship tests. The results of the collaborative Archdiocesan-wide test will not be shared with privately-run institutions.

Eighth-grade students who attend public schools, private schools, charter schools, or who are homeschooled do have an opportunity to be considered for an academic scholarship at LC. These students are invited to take an optional scholarship test at Lansdale Catholic High School on Thursday, October 5 from 3:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. To register for the public/private/charter school sitting, please click here: https://stsusers.com/.../registra.../static/philadelphia.php

Students may not take this test twice. The sitting at LC on October 5 is not permitted for students from the Catholic partner schools, as they will have already taken the test the last week of September with their eighth-grade teachers. Questions? Please email [email protected].
