Shadow Visits

A great way to find out if Seton Keough is the right school for you is to visit!  Shadow days allow you to be a Seton Keough student for the day. You may choose your host student or you will be matched up with a current student who shares similar interests. During your shadow day you will attend classes, meet teachers and students, and learn about Seton Keough. Shadow dates are available Mondays through Thursdays. Seventh graders are invited to shadow in the spring. Appointments are required at least two days in advance. Please contact the Office of Admissions (410) 646-4444, ext. 3248 for more information.

High School Placement Test

The HSTS High School Placement Test is a standardized entrance test, designed for eighth graders. It is used nationwide. Like any standardized test, the HSPT is approximately three hours in length and is designed to measure general eighth grade knowledge. Students do not need to study for this test. Catholic High schools in Baltimore will be offering this test on Saturday December 3, 2011.

This test is required of any student applying to Catholic high schools in Baltimore.

Students: You will be asked to rank your top three choices for high school on the day of the test. It is strongly encouraged that you take the test at your first choice school. Be honest about your choices. Academic Scholarships are based on the school’s entrance exam (HSPT) and teacher/principal recommendations. No formal application needs to be submitted. Only students that list Seton Keough as their first choice will be considered for scholarships.
