  • Step 2: Register for the SSAT

    Create an account with The Enrollment Management Association to register for the SSAT (Secondary School Admission Test), a standardized aptitude test that Benedictine and Saint Gertrude (and most independent schools) require all applicants to sit for. This test will help our team with the placement process for academic courses.

  • Step 3: Submit a Transcript Release Form

    In order for us to obtain your current school record, it is necessary for a parent or guardian to give permission. Please download the appropriate transcript release form below, complete it, and submit the signed request to your child's current school.

    These candid assessments of each applicant will remain confidential and should be returned directly to the school.

  • Step 5: Schedule an Admission Interview

    Upon receipt of your completed admission file, you will be contacted to schedule an interview. But don’t stress about your interview; this is simply a way for us to better get to know you. During the interview, applicants will be asked several questions regarding their applications and their interest in our schools. Also, this is a great opportunity for applicants to ask us questions about our schools, the integration of the Catholic faith, our rich traditions, the rigorous academics, and our competitive athletic program. But, don’t stress! The interview is informal and relaxed; it’s simply a way for us to get to know each other better!
