Prospective Freshmen

Notre Dame Application for 2022-2023 Academic Year will be available beginning September 1, 2021

To complete the application form, you will be taken to the SchoolAdmin Portal website. If you have not already done so, you will need to create an account. It will then prompt you to begin the application process for your child. There is a non-refundable $50 application fee.

Through the SchoolAdmin Portal, you will be able to:

• Complete the application with all of your student’s information

• Request letters of recommendation from your student’s current math and English teachers

• Request transcripts from the school. Standardized test scores (PARCC, Terranova, STAR, IOWA, ERB, PSSA) from middle school are also required as available.

• Schedule your student’s interview

We encourage any student with an existing Standard Application Online (SAO) application to submit this to Notre Dame in lieu of the Notre Dame application. You will receive an email with login instructions to the SchoolAdmin Portal once your application has been processed.

Placement Test

Prospective students are required to take the High School Placement Test (HSPT) which will be given at Notre Dame. We will also accept the SSAT in lieu of the HSPT. Notre Dame will be listed on the SSAT application for you to select and automatically send us your test scores. If your child is hoping to apply for a merit scholarship, HSPT or SSAT testing must be taken by December 1, 2021 and results must be submitted to Notre Dame by December 17, 2021.

HSPT Testing Dates for Notre Dame

(registration opening on September 1, 2021)

All prospective students are required to participate in a virtual interview with a member of our Admission Interview Committee. Interviews can be self-scheduled once you have submitted your application through the SchoolAdmin Portal. The student and one parent/guardian will need to be present. Interviews usually last around 30 minutes and are a wonderful opportunity for us to get to know each other. Come dressed to impress and ready to ask questions. We look forward to meeting you!

Our Irish for a Day experience allows prospective students to spend a day as part of the family! Registration will be available beginning September 1, 2021 for the 2021-2022 school year.
