Parents of Potential Transfer Students (Classes of 2025, 2026 and 2027) and Incoming Freshmen (Class of 2028): If you have not yet completed a Lansdale Catholic High School Application for Admission, please fill it out here as soon as you are able to (no fee to complete). Please upload a copy of your student's latest report card to the portal that is created when you fill out the application, or you may send it via email to [email protected].

Once an application and report card are received, you will be emailed your student's Lansdale Catholic (LC) High School Acceptance Letter with a link to officially register/enroll at LC included in that email. Please complete the registration process here ($250 registration fee). This will secure the enrollment for Lansdale Catholic High School and hold your child's place as a student at LC for the 2024-25 school year.

Class of 2028 Eighth Grade Scholarship Test:

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].

Shadow Days

Eighth-grade students and prospective high school transfer students who would like to spend a day at Lansdale Catholic should schedule a Shadow Day here. Please click, "I would like to schedule a Shadow Day." The form will provide all available date options. Shadow students should arrive at 8:00 a.m. through the Main Entrance (back of the LC parking lot). Students who currently wear a school uniform should wear it to their visit; all other students should wear casual/comfortable clothes that might also be acceptable to wear in church. A complimentary lunch will be provided, though visitors are welcome to pack a lunch if they wish. Shadow Days conclude at 1:45 p.m. Questions about Shadow Days should be directed to Mrs. Elaine Maginnis at [email protected].

Parents of Seventh Graders (Class of 2029): We begin your high school selection journey with the Seventh Grade Practice Test on Saturday, March 2, 2024 at 8:00 a.m. A registration form will be provided in the coming months. Students, please Save the Date for Seventh Grade Visitation Day on Thursday, March 21, 2024.
