Admissions Process for Current
8th Graders applying for 9th grade

- Admissions

Admission to Cathedral High School is a simple, three-step process outlined in detail below. If there are any questions along the way, please reach out to our Admissions Director at (347) 809-3231.

Step One: Submit an Admissions Application

Start your Admissions process now by completing and submitting the 9th grade application below.

Step Two: Take Your Entrance Exam

Select one of these three Entrance Exam choices:
TACHS
Register for the TACHS Exam online at www.tachsinfo.com, or by calling 1-866-61TACHS. The TACHS Exam is taken by current 8th graders and is administered each November.

Admissions to Cathedral High School is based on the performance on the TACHS (Test for Admissions into Catholic High Schools) along with the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade report cards.

Students may list Cathedral as their first, second or third choice on the TACHS. *Scholarship consideration is only given to students who are an "A" student in middle school and have scored well on their TACHS exam. Scholarships range from Legacy which covers approximately 90% of the tuition to half and partial. These scholarships will remain with the student as long as she maintains a GPA of 85 or above. Students who receive an academic scholarship will be part of our Honors Academy.

*Cathedral’s TACHS code is 202.
COOP Exam: New Jersey Residents
New Jersey residents may take the COOP exam in place of the TACHS exam and the same instructions above apply.

Register for the COOP exam online at http://www.njcoopexam.org or by calling 1-888-921-COOP.

NJ residents should request that their schools send their applicant records to Cathedral High School and we will request their COOP scores.

After the exam, your application will be reviewed and you will be notified of your admissions status.
