While there is no entrance exam to be accepted to Notre Dame Academy, the Admissions Committee uses the High School Placement Test (HSPT) as part of the ninth-grade admissions process as a way for us to determine recommendations for schedules.

This test is offered in December - as well as additional test dates in Spring. If your daughter attends a Metro-Toledo Catholic Elementary school, she will take the HSPT at her current school and does not need to sign up for a testing date at NDA.

Upcoming Testing Dates

Testing begins at 8 a.m. and concludes at 12 p.m. Please bring $20 for the registration fee and number 2 pencils. Register for either of the testing date by clicking here!
