Admissions decisions will begin the week of February 3, 2020 for priority acceptance decisions.  Rolling admissions will begin following priority acceptance decisions..

Acceptance to TG occurs after review by the admissions committee of the completed application file and HSPT scores. The deadline for priority acceptance and scholarship application is January 11, 2020.

Students who submit all materials by January 11 will be sent admissions decisions the week of February 3, 2020 and scholarship award notifications will begin.  

Starting February 3, 2020, students accepted under priority acceptance will be the first students invited to enroll into the class of 2024 and will be the first to select classes. Families who enroll by midnight on February 17, 2020, will receive $50 off the $300 enrollment fee.

Please note because the previous year's class enrollment goal was met, we encourage early enrollment to ensure a seat in the class!

Totino-Grace seeks to serve the needs of students with a wide range of abilities.  Through our Learning Lab and other programs, we are able to accommodate most students who have special learning needs.  However, when students score very low on the HSPT or have other needs which require accommodations, we will review their needs and determine whether Totino-Grace can provide a successful academic experience.  If Totino-Grace determines it cannot provide the necessary programs for a student, we will refund the enrollment fee and deny admission. 

Admission for a new student may be held or denied, if the person(s) who will be financially responsible for the student, has/have a past due balance from a current or former student.

The placement exam is required for admission to the TG Class of 2024.  Due to the Novel Coronavirus, the placement exam will be postponed for applicants until further notice.  Once an applicant has completed all components of the application file, acceptance into the TG Class of 2024 will be contingent on eventual completion of the placement exam.

Once a student has been accepted, the family will receive an email inviting them to complete the Financial Responsibility Form, Online Enrollment Contract and submit the $300 enrollment fee. Families who enroll by midnight on February 17, 2020, will receive $50 off the $300 enrollment fee. 

The 9th Grade Academic Preference Form will only be made available to students who have been accepted and submitted the Enrollment Contract and Enrollment Fee. The Academic Preference Form allows students to make course selection preference. Please note courses are filled as students register. To ensure enrollment in preferred courses we encourage submission of this form promptly.

The placement exam helps with preliminary English placement for students. Based on students' scores in three categories - verbal, reading and language - students who have indicated an interest in Honors English and place above the benchmark cumulative score will be placed in Honors English. Students who have an interest in Honors English but do not meet the benchmark cumulative score are invited to take an additional writing assessment that, along with their HSPT score, will determine final placement for Honors English.   

Students wishing to be placed in level 2 French or higher must show sufficient proficiency on the French Placement test.  For students interested in upper level placement please contact Mr. Andrew Barter at andrew.barter@totinograce.org to make arrangements for taking the French placement test.  This should not occur until after the student's placement exam results have been returned.

8th graders who are ready for level 2 Spanish in 9th grade participate in a Spanish class that meets the equivalent of 45 minutes per day for one school year.  Students with very advanced skills because of outside experience, such as speaking Spanish at home or immersion experience, might even be placed in level 3.  Students who wish to test into a higher level will complete an online placement test which will assess the student's proficiency in Spanish. The test will be open online from April 24 - May 10.  A week prior students may wish to access the practice activities and vocabulary lists that will be available online.  Check back in mid-April for the practice site.
