Applying to a Catholic High School
Criteria for Admissions
Students apply to a Catholic high school by completing the high
school’s application form. Grades, test scores, and in some cases,
an interview is considered by Catholic high schools in determining
admission for each student. Each Catholic high school is unique and
so is their admission process. Learn more about each Catholic high
school by reviewing the enclosed description and visiting their web site.
NOTICE OF
NON-DISCRIMINATORY POLICY
Catholic schools admit students
of any race, color, national
and ethnic origin to all the
rights, privileges, programs and
activities generally accorded
or made available to students
at the school. They do not
discriminate on the basis of
race, color, national and ethnic
origin in administration of their
educational policies, admissions
policies, scholarship and loan
programs and athletic and other
school-administered programs.
To the extent required by Title
IX, they do not discriminate
against any applicant, employee
or student because
of sex.

form their daughters into educated, cultured, pious, cheerful, and
adventurous young women in a program oriented around the learning
styles of girls. The curriculum is rooted in the Western tradition where
girls read the classics, recite poetry, explore the world and graduate as
confident young women. Brookewood prides itself on small classes
where girls receive more one-on-one attention.
Brookewood’s extra-curricular activities include competitive sports
and the Actor’s Guild which provides the opportunity for girls to
express themselves in drama.
Unique to Brookewood is a system of four houses in which students
are placed at the beginning of the year. On festival days the girls
compete in their respective houses in athletic events and recite poetry
they have learned in class for competition.
Outside the classroom, Brookewood School takes advantage of the
wide range of educational, cultural, and natural opportunities in the
greater Washington, DC area.
Need-based financial aid provided
by school; families may also apply for need-based assistance through

Profile
Connelly School of the Holy Child is a Catholic, independent,
college preparatory middle and upper school for young women in
grades 6 through 12, in Potomac, Maryland. Founded in 1961 by the
Society of the Holy Child Jesus, the school is a member of the Holy
Child Network of Schools in the United States and a part of the larger
community of Holy Child schools that includes Europe and Africa.
Our foundation is the educational philosophy of Cornelia Connelly
(1809-1879), whose ideas even today are advanced in individualized,
compassionate education. Holy Child provides Advanced Placement
and honors courses, and college-level courses are offered through a
five-school consortium and The Online School for Girls. Campus
ministry, community service, athletics, leadership opportunities,
publications and fine arts enrich the curriculum.
Holy Child provides need-based
financial aid to qualified families. To apply, families must complete
a Parents’ Financial Statement from School and Student Service, a
Holy Child Financial Aid Application and submit copies of their 2013
federal tax return by December 5, 2014. Students also may apply for
tuition assistance through the Archdiocese of Washington.
The Academic Support Office
at Holy Child is a resource for all students, parents and teachers. A
program for young women who welcome the challenge of strong
academics but have learning differences that compromise their ability
to access the curriculum in conventional ways is offered through this
office, manned by five learning specialists.
Transportation
Most students carpool. Limited bus transportation
is available. The 36 Ride-On bus takes students to and from the
Bethesda Metro Station (Red Line) and stops on the Holy Child
campus. The T2 Metrobus, from the Friendship Heights and
Rockville (west side) Metro stations, stops at the intersection of River
Road and Bradley Boulevard, two blocks from the school. We also

Don Bosco Cristo Rey High School,DBCR, is co-sponsored by
the Archdiocese of Washington and the Salesians of Don Bosco. The
school provides a rigorous college-preparatory Catholic education
with a Salesian approach of “faith, family, future, fun” to hardworking
students with limited economic resources. DBCR is a member of
the Cristo Rey Network™, a national association of 28 Catholic high
schools that feature a college preparatory curriculum and a unique
Corporate Work Study Program through which each student gains
professional experience while financing the majority of the cost of his
or her education. Students must be highly motivated and mature,
open to Catholic religious values, employable, willing to work very
hard and be academically competent. Families also are expected to
take an active part in the education of their child and in the life of
the school. To apply, families must meet financial need requirements.
Students must be 14 years old at the start of the school year and be
eligible to work in the United States.
The actual tuition and cost to
educate a student at Don Bosco Cristo Rey High school is $13,000.
By participating in the Corporate Work Study Program, students earn
$6,800 of their tuition and the Family Contribution of the tuition
is $2,500. Nearly 90% of our students receive additional financial
assistance in order to reduce the family contribution payments through
Financial Aid from the Archdiocese of Washington, Scholarships
programs, and Grants. To qualify, families must complete the Tuition
Aid Data Services (TADS) application annually and assist the school
in completing additional scholarship procedures as part of their
commitment. These additional scholarships and grants ordinarily do
not change the predetermined family contribution.

Profile
Georgetown Prep is the oldest Catholic School for boys in
the nation. We just celebrated our 225th year of educating men
of competence, conscience, commitment and compassion, men of
faith, men for others. Georgetown Prep offers a rigorous, liberal
arts education that encourages growth in mind, body, and spirit. As
a boarding and day school, we foster a close-knit, global learning
environment that challenges each student to achieve their utmost
potential within small class sizes. Georgetown Prep students excel
in academics, the arts, and athletics. However, at the heart of our
education is a call to be men in service to others who will as St.
Ignatius exhorted “ite inflammate omnia”, go forth and set the world
on fire. By setting the bar high for our young men, we push them to
be their very best. As a result, each year our graduates matriculate to
some of the best colleges and universities in the world.
We provide $2.5 million in
financial aid with an average grant of $19,000. We do not provide any
merit scholarships as, due to our admission criteria, nearly all of our
accepted pool could qualify for merit recognition. We save all our aid
for those who could not otherwise afford a Prep education.
Service to Students with Special Needs We offer time and a half on tests
for students with documented needs. We also have a learning specialist
on campus to help students who might need organizational support.
Transportation
Located directly across the street from the Grosvenor
Metro station on the red line. Shuttle pickup available. Busing from

Profile Georgetown
Visitation provides
an outstanding,
Catholic-based
education to young
women in grades
9-12, just as we’ve
done since 1799.
On our beautiful,
23-acre campus in the heart of
historic Georgetown, our students become confident leaders
who truly learn to—in the words of our religious founder, St. Francis de
Sales—“Be who they are and be that well.” They graduate with a wellrounded academic foundation, faith and values that will forever guide
them, a strong sense of purpose and desire to help others, and friendships
that will last a lifetime.
We boast a student-teacher ratio of 9:1 and small class sizes, making our
classrooms highly participatory and discussions lively and engaging. Our
electives range from neuroscience to creative writing, and those seeking
additional challenge can choose from many Honors and AP courses—or
even participate in our Bridge Program with Georgetown University.
Students are challenged and nurtured and empowered to reach their
full potential, whether conducting a science experiment, competing
with one of our Lewis Cup-champion sports teams, singing with one
of our award-winning performing arts groups, or heading a new school
club. Beloved school traditions, retreats, and domestic and international
service trips are just some of the additional opportunities here.
Each year, we award over $1.9
million in financial aid, based primarily on need. To process aid
applications, we use NAIS’s School and Student Services (SSS), which
applies a consistent, objective formula to calculate the amount of
money a family has available to contribute to education costs.
The Learning Support
Department works with students who may need additional academic
support and offers freshman- and sophomore-level courses that help
build tools necessary for student success.
Transportation
Most students carpool; the school distributes zip code
lists at the start of each school year. Others choose to take public
transportation.

Profile
A Catholic,
Jesuit college
preparatory school,
Gonzaga offers
outstanding
academics and
a wide variety
of co-curricular
activities.
Located six
blocks from our
nation’s Capitol, its inner
city location underscores the school’s commitment to
the challenge of Fr. Pedro Arrupe, S.J., for our students to become
“Men for Others.” Performing community service and helping those
in need is encouraged throughout a student’s four years on Eye Street.
“Men for Others” is not an empty phrase during a young man’s tenure
at Gonzaga or in the years that follow in the wider world. Admission
is based on school performance, current teacher recommendations,
test scores, and a personal essay, as well as extracurricular activities.
Gonzaga seeks well-rounded young men with a strong desire to
succeed and to be part of Washington’s oldest all-boys school. The
student body is diverse and is drawn from the entire metropolitan area
and beyond.
Need-based assistance is available
in the form of grants based upon the School and Student Service’s
(SSS) Parents Financial Statement (PFS). Applications are available
online at http://sssbynais.org/parents/. Gonzaga awards $2.7 million
in financial aid to over 300 students. Merit based grants (Presidential
and Sousa Scholarships) are also awarded to incoming freshmen.
Students with documented
learned differences are provided time-and-a-half on classroom tests,
standardized tests and exams.
Transportation
Most students carpool or take public transportation.
Union Station (Red Line) is three blocks away. Gonzaga is accessible
by Metrobus (80, 96, D3, D4, D8, X1-X3, X8, X9) or Circulator.
Summer Programs
Gonzaga’s Freshman Transition Program assists
incoming ninth-grade students with courses in English, reading,
math and study skills. There is also summer school with remediation
and enrichment courses. The school hosts numerous summer
athletic camps.
Profile
The Heights School assists parents, in their role as primary
educators, with the intellectual, moral, physical, and spiritual
education of their sons. The School’s curriculum provides the breadth
of mind that marks an educated man, and the intellectual tools
required for higher education and professional life. An average class
size of 16 students, a student-to-faculty ratio of 7:1, and a challenging
curriculum that includes over 20 college level courses help account for
our stellar college placement record. Most important at The Heights,
however, is the personal mentoring that each student receives not only
from classroom teachers and coaches, but also from personal advisors
who work with parents to carefully foster their sons’ growth. Heights
students have access to a rich sacramental life; they compete on 13
athletic teams; they participate in 30 extracurricular clubs; and they
take advantage of travel and adventure opportunities that develop a
spirit of adventure, camaraderie, and readiness for life’s challenges.
It is mission-essential for The
Heights to support families in their efforts to educate their sons.
Consequently, over 40% of our students receive financial aid with the
average grant-per-student totaling nearly $10,000. Tuition assistance
is granted on the basis of financial need, as determined by the FACTS.

Reasonably priced bus service is available from
Northern Virginia and Washington, DC, and a courtesy shuttle runs
to and from the Grosvenor Metro station (Red Line).
