    Testing

    Applicants for the 9th and 10th grades should register to the Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT) in November, December, or January.  (There are testing dates scheduled all year.) Scores received from the February test date will be accepted provided all other application requirements are met by the January 15 deadline.  Enter code - # 5285 on your SSAT online registration, and your scores will be sent directly to Nazareth Academy. Visit the SSAT.org website for more information or to register for the test.

    While the Admissions Office prefers the SSAT for 9th and 10th grade applicants, the Catholic Secondary School Entrance Exam, which is given at many of the surrounding Catholic schools is also accepted. Please send a copy of your complete exam scores along with your application.

    Applicants for the 11th grade, may substitute the PSAT or SAT for SSAT or the HSPT.
