The Application Process

Complete and submit your Online Application for Admission by Thursday, October 18th. There is a $50 non-refundable application fee that is due at the time of application submission.

After completing the online application, each applicant 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. 

6^th and 7^th Grade Report Cards

Your current school will not send copies of the 6^th and 7^th grade report cards.  It is the applicant’s responsibility to make copies of the report cards and mail or email them directly to Nazareth.

Teacher Recommendation

In order to obtain a letter of recommendation, applicants should forward the Teacher Recommendation Form to your daughter's 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.

Our 8th Grade Entrance and Scholarship Exam is a critical tool in the admissions process as we consider candidates for the Class of 2023.  Students who are unable to sit for the exam at Nazareth may choose to take it at another private high school in the area and send their scores to us. 

Please note, only students who take the exam at Nazareth are eligible for all scholarships. 

For more information regarding our scholarships, please visit our Affording NAHS page.

Qualifying applicants will receive a notification from the Admissions Office inviting them to come in for an interview.  Each qualified applicant and their parent/guardian will have the opportunity to meet and interview with a member of the admissions staff or school administration. Please note that applicants must have a completed admissions file before an interview can be scheduled. A complete file includes the applicant’s Application for Admission, transcript from her current school, 6^th and 7^th grade standardized testing results, and one teacher recommendation.

Complete and submit your Online Application for Admission by July 26, 2019. There is a $50 non-refundable application fee that is due at the time of application submission.

Financial Aid and Scholarships

NAHS does not offer financial aid to incoming transfer students. However, if a student transfers to Nazareth, a family can apply for financial aid for subsequent school years. NAHS is also unable to award scholarships for transferring students as these scholarships are based on the results of our 8^th Grade Entrance/Scholarship Exam and a specific criteria & process for incoming 9^th graders.

After completing the transfer student application, each applicant should submit the following documents:

1. Report cards for the past two school years, as well as the most recent report card of the current year.
2. Standardized test scores (e.g. TerraNova/PSSA/PSAT) for the past two school years, as well as the score from the current year.
3. A Letter of Recommendation from a teacher, guidance counselor, or principal.
4. A copy of your daughter's current high school transcript.

The Admissions Committee will evaluate the student, and based on the evaluation, a student would then be invited to interview (along with a parent/guardian). Students will be considered for acceptance once a completed file and application have been received by the Admissions Office. 

Interviews will be offered only when the application file is complete.
