Application Process
The holistic admissions process at St. Teresa’s Academy includes an online application, review of middle school grades, teacher recommendations and student essays, and an optional family meeting with a representative of STA’s Admissions Department. An entrance exam is required for admittance.
Priority application and financial aid deadlines are December 1, 2023. Apply for financial aid online through FAIR.
- A parent release giving permission to STA Admissions Department to request student grades and teacher recommendations from middle schools is included in the application. Parents do not need to provide grades and teacher recommendations on their daughter’s behalf.
- Priority application deadline is December 1, 2023.
- Create an account and prepare to submit an application.
*If the $20 application fee is a hindrance to your family, please contact Kathleen Couchonnal to request a fee waiver.
- Student applicants are asked to complete an online essay submission.
- The form will accept one submission per student.
All applicants are required to take an entrance exam prior to acceptance. As an incoming freshman, you may be eligible for up to $2500 in merit-based scholarships, renewable annually. To be eligible for a merit-based scholarship, a student must take the entrance exam at St. Teresa’s Academy.
In an effort to be equitable to all students taking the exam, we do not share which exam we use. The entrance exam is just one data point we use in our holistic admissions process. We will accept scores of entrance exams taken at other schools if you are able to provide us with an official copy of the results.
Two testing dates are available: November 4, 2023 & December 9, 2023.
- If you wish to schedule a family meeting, please contact Kathleen Couchonnal, Director of Admissions.
- Your meeting will take place with an STA faculty or staff member. We ask that the student applicant plus at least one parent/guardian attend the meeting.
