Gonzaga College High School

Gonzaga describes its teaching as a rigorous Jesuit, college-preparatory education that pushes students to think beyond the classroom, cultivating a love of learning and a commitment to social justice. Guided by the Jesuit ideal of cura personalis (care for the whole person), it aims not only to educate minds but also to form hearts through a culture of encounter grounded in faith, service, and personal relationships.

Gonzaga’s application starts by submitting an inquiry form, creating an admissions account, and then using the assigned checklist to track and upload required items. (gonzaga.org) By the December 15, 2025 deadline (for the 2026-2027 school year), applicants submit the application, upload a personal essay, and pay the $35 application fee, and supporting school materials are due as well. (gonzaga.org) Testing/records requirements vary by current school: applicants generally take the High School Placement Test (HSPT) via their school or a local test site and ensure Gonzaga receives scores, and schools provide transcripts/records plus teacher recommendations (with an optional additional recommendation noted). (gonzaga.org) Transfer applicants must submit current academic/disciplinary records and test scores, and applicants entering sophomore or junior year must also take the SSAT and send scores to Gonzaga. (gonzaga.org) Key dates listed by Gonzaga include admissions account access beginning September 2, 2025; Open House on Sunday, November 23; an HSPT administration at Gonzaga on December 6, 2025; admission decisions available February 27, 2026 (4:00 pm); and incoming freshman registration due March 13, 2026; the public admissions pages reviewed do not describe an admissions waitlist policy or any explicit admissions priority/legacy categories.
