Villa Maria will administer the High School Placement Test (HSPT) as our Entrance-Scholarship Exam on Saturday, September 28  and Sunday, October 20. 

Register for the Exam: 

• If your daughter is not able to join us for the Villa Maria Entrance-Scholarship exams, we do accept HSPT scores taken at other high schools.
• Only prospective students submitting HSPT scores from Villa Maria or another high school are eligible for consideration for an academic scholarship.
• Scores must be received by the application deadline of November 6th for scholarship consideration. 
• We strongly encourage students to take the exam twice, once during our testing dates and at another area high school. 
• The admissions committee will accept the highest HSPT score submitted; we do not super score exams. 
• HSPT result processing may vary; if testing elsewhere, please confirm with the testing location to ensure scores will be received by the application deadline. 

Scores may be uploaded in the Application Checklist under the step HSPT Upload. Please contact admissions@vmahs.org with any questions.

Please note: The HSPT is an important indication of future academic success at Villa Maria. For accepted students, the HSPT score will be used by our academic departments to inform placement.
