Admissions Steps

In the Fall of 8th Grade, Nazareth Academy High School encourages students to officially begin the admissions process. Applicants should complete the following steps to ensure that all of the proper paperwork/materials are submitted on time for enrollment.

Complete the Online Application

The online Application for Admission for those applying to our Class of 2031 is available now by clicking here! 

You will be submitting your daughter's Application for Admission through PowerSchool.

• You will need to create a PowerSchool account in order to complete and submit the application.
• A copy of the applicant's birth certificate must be provided with the application.
• There is a $50 non-refundable application fee that is due at the time of application submission. The application fee must be received in order for an application to be reviewed. 

Please note:  Submitting an Application for Admission does NOT automatically register your daughter for our 8th Grade Entrance & Scholarship Exam.

 

Submit Supplemental Admissions Documents

After completing the online application, each applicant for the Class of 2031 should submit the following documents:

Student Transcript

To request copies of your academic records, you must complete the Transcript Release Form and submit it to your current school. The school will then forward copies of your transcript, attendance records, disciplinary records, and standardized test scores to NAHS. The transcript must include your daughter's final grades from 6th and 7th Grades, along with her standardized testing results from 6th and 7th Grades (if applicable).

Teacher Recommendation

In order to obtain a letter of recommendation, Class of 2031 applicants should forward the Teacher Recommendation Form to their Principal, Guidance Counselor, or 6th, 7th, or 8th Grade teacher. The evaluator will then complete the recommendation and mail it directly to Nazareth. NAHS only requires and recommends ONE teacher recommendation.

Prospective students engage in the same rigorous admissions process as all Nazareth applicants, including interviews conducted via Zoom. An applicant's acceptance to Nazareth is contingent upon meeting academic requirements and living with a CSIET approved agency or blood relative (as verified by affidavit). Applicants must also meet all of the guidelines of the Department of Homeland Security and Student Exchange and Visitor Program.
