Thinking of Catholic high school?

Frequently asked questions answered for those looking for a unique, faith-filled experience

Why a Catholic School?

Catholic high schools are unique faith-centered communities that integrate thinking and believing in ways that encourage intellectual growth and nurture faith and inspiration. They create a supportive and challenging climate which affirms the dignity of all persons within the school community.

Which school is right for us?

God made each one of us unique with special gifts and needs. High school is a new destination along the journey of faith and education. As one begins the task of choosing a Catholic high school, one will discover that each has its own qualities.

When should we start looking?

• Sixth grade is the time for families to start considering which high school would be most appropriate for the student. At this grade level, the approach should be low key and not pressured.

Each student has different needs and every high school should be considered for its various strengths.

• Seventh grade students should begin thinking about the environment and the activities that are important to them. Students should be open minded and consider all options.

• Eighth grade students will experience many opportunities to finalize the decision on which high school will best meet their needs. Check with the high schools for specific deadlines and procedures for admission.

How do we decide on which school?

• Step 1 – Prioritize. List everything that is expected during the high school experience. Evaluate this list and arrange it in order of importance.

• Step 2 – Visits. Take advantage of freshman-for-a-day programs, open houses, high school information nights, and other special events offered at the high school.

Considerations It is important to evaluate each high school in light of the student’s needs. Since many students are interested in Catholic education, it is necessary to meet all deadlines set by the individual high schools.

Admissions procedures have been established for each school. An outline

FUTURE HIGH SCHOOLERS • Middle school students from around the Philadelphia region sing for the opening session of the 2015 World Meeting of Families. Craig Pittelli photo of the procedures is available at the individual high schools.

Checking them out Open house days allow students and parents to visit and tour the schools, meet faculty, ask questions and gather information.

Special event attendance at fine art shows, music performances, plays, worship opportunities, fundraisers and

sporting events can give insight into student and parent involvement and the extra-curricular activities available.

Freshman-for-a-day programs provides a prospective eighth grader with the opportunity to visit the high school campus, observe classes and attend special programs.

or more than 20 years, the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) has recognized exceptional individuals for their support of education and youth in the United States, and of Catholic education in particular.

NCEA’s St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Award and the NCEA President’s Award were created to honor those individuals whose personal or professional philanthropy or volunteer service has impacted U.S. education and our country’s youth in general or Catholic education in particular.

The NCEA will honor individuals and organizations with the NCEA Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Award on Oct. 5 in Washington, D.C. The Seton Award celebrates the honorees’ lifelong devotion to Catholic education.

“Outstanding support and service to Catholic education in communities throughout the country is alive and well,” said NCEA president Brother Robert Bimonte. The honorees “are among the champions serving our nation’s youth and proclaiming the good news of Catholic education. This 25th Anniversary of the Seton Awards is a land-

mark event for our members as NCEA continues to recognize distinguished individuals and organizations within our Catholic communities who emulate Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton’s dedication to Catholic education.”
