Admissions

Updated 8mo ago

Elizabeth Seton High School directs applicants to apply through its Blackbaud admissions portal: families create an account, complete the online admissions application, and pay a $50 non-refundable fee. Required materials vary by applicant type (ADW, non-ADW/private/public, homeschool, or transfer) but generally include transcripts/records, English and math recommendations, and the High School Placement Test (HSPT), with interviews required for some applicants (e.g., homeschool and transfer). For the Class of 2030 cycle, the admissions (and financial aid) deadline is December 12, 2025 (11:59 PM), and decisions are posted in Blackbaud on February 20, 2026 at 3:00 PM; accepted families then have an enrollment deadline of March 13, 2026. The school also lists visit opportunities (e.g., Open House and shadow days) and notes that incomplete applications cannot be reviewed and will not receive a decision until all materials are received. The admissions pages reviewed do not describe a published waitlist process or any priority categories (e.g., sibling/alumna/parish priority), so families would need to confirm those details directly with the Admissions Office.
