The Walkabout Wednesday events were created to give parents of 8th graders the chance to visit the campus during a normal school day. Open House is a fantastic way to see the school on full display, but the Walkabout Wednesdays give parents the unique opportunity to experience firsthand what St. X can do for our students. Parents will tour the campus and have the opportunity to meet with Administrators and the Admissions Team.

The High School Placement Test (HSPT) is the first step in the admission process for current 8^th grade students. All students requesting admission to St. X are required to take the test for appropriate placement in one of five customized academic programs offered. The placement test is only one of many steps taken to accurately place our students. St. X is committed to working with our families and previous schools to ensure we make the best transition to high school for each young man.

We are so excited for the Class of 2028 to join the St. X brotherhood!

We recognize that the cost of an independent catholic school education is significant and that many families will make sacrifices to send their son to St. X. Therefore, we make every effort to assist admitted families with the financial commitments involved in financing a St. X education through our comprehensive scholarship and financial assistance program.
