Prospective Freshmen

Notre Dame Application for 2022-2023 Academic Year

To complete the application form, click here to 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

• Schedule your student’s interview

• Request transcripts from the school. Most recent standardized test scores (PARCC, Terranova, STAR, IOWA, ERB, PSSA) from middle school are also required. For the Class of 2026, we will accept 5th through 8th grade test scores, as available. We understand that some students may not have scores due to Covid.

Standard Application Online (SAO)

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 administered 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. In order to be considered for a merit scholarship, all prospective students must take an HSPT or SSAT by December 1, 2021. Results must be received at Notre Dame by December 17, 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!
