• Complete our Inquiry Form

  To learn more or begin the admissions process for our Upper Level, please complete our Upper Level Inquiry Form, and a member of our Admissions Office will be in touch with you shortly.

• Application Fee

  The application fee for the 2025–2026 school year is $50.

• Submit School Transcripts

  If your child attends a Catholic school within the Archdiocese of Baltimore, you will submit the Transcript Release Form (if the form is required by your school). The form can be found on your admissions portal checklist. Please submit that form as soon as possible as we require first semester grades to be submitted between November 1 and December 10.
  
  

  NDP requires referrals from English and math teachers. If your daughter attends a public or independent private school, please submit the Common Referral Form to your school. That form can also be found on your admissions checklist.

   

  NDP receives your daughters’ MAP (or other standardized test) scores for consideration during the admissions process. Test scores are just one piece considered by the committee as we understand students perform differently on such examinations.
  
  

• Testing

  All students applying to Catholic high schools are required to take the High School Placement Test (HSPT). Registration for the HSPT opens on September 9, 2025. For more information about the test and how to register your 8th grade student, please visit the Archdiocese of Baltimore's HSPT web page.
  
  Additionally, we will be offering the test on our campus on November 15, 2025, at 8:30 a.m. If you would like to register your student to take the HSPT at NDP, you may do so by visiting the Archdiocese of Baltimore's HSPT Registration Portal and selecting Notre Dame Prep from the list of testing sites once registration opens on September 9, 2025.
  
  PLEASE NOTE: All 8th grade students currently attending an Archdiocese of Baltimore Catholic school will take the test at their school on November 19, 2025.

• Decision Period

  Please check back for further information. 

• After Enrolling

  Soon after we receive your contract and deposit, someone from the Office of the Academic Dean will communicate with families concerning NDP internal placement testing. Enrolled students will test to determine phasing for their freshman year. That test is scheduled for TBA.
  
  

  Please note: We understand some magnet schools do not offer admission for several days or weeks after our enrollment deadline of March 6. Unfortunately, we are unable to save space in the class without a contract and a non-refundable deposit. If you choose to wait and not enroll by the March 6 deadline, and your family eventually decides NDP is the place for your daughter, she will be admitted if the class is not full.
  
  

  Please let the Office of Admissions know if your school plans any celebrations (bus parades, car parades, etc.) for your graduating 8^th grader. We would love to take part if allowed.
