Interview/Virtual VISIt
An interview is required as part of your application and is scheduled during your Virtual VISIt, which is reserved through the Admissions Portal. Interviews will take place on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from September 29 to December 3.
Teacher Recommendation Form
All applicants for Grade 9 must submit the Archdiocese of Washington’s 2020-2021 Teacher Recommendation Form to their principal or counselor by November. It must be completed by the applicant’s teachers for each major subject area indicated and mailed by the school to our Admissions Office no later than December 11, 2020.
Transcripts
Transcripts from Grade 7 plus grades from the first quarter of Grade 8 should be submitted to our Admissions Office by December 11, 2020. Applicants must submit this Transcript Release Form to their school’s main office in order to have the transcripts released.
High School Placement Test
Visitation requires the Archdiocese of Washington’s High School Placement Test (HSPT) as its entrance exam. Students attending an Archdiocese of Washington school will receive the high-school choice form and take the HSPT at school in November. If a student marks Visitation as one of her three choices on the HSPT application, her scores will be sent to Visitation automatically. A similar procedure for testing will be in place for students attending any of the Archdiocese of Arlington’s elementary schools.
Students NOT attending an Archdiocese of Washington school should visit ADW.org for registration information. The HSPT registration must be sent directly to the Archdiocese. When submitting HSPT registrations, applicants may ask to take the online HSPT through Visitation on Saturday, December 5, 2020. Registration closes on November 29. Please note that Visitation is online testing only this year.
All families may login to their Admissions Portal at 5 p.m. on February 26 to find out their Admissions' status.
