Welcome to Jesuit Admissions! To help guide you through the admissions process, we’ve curated some content specific to your experience. Please select from the following options:
I’m a High School Transfer Student
Open House
In mid-October we open our campus to all our future families
Registration for Open House opens in the fall.
Meeting our teachers, students, current families, and
alumni — who are the best witnesses to our Ignatian
mission and strongest storytellers of Jesuit
— allows families who are in the process of selecting a
high school for their sons to experience our mission, education
style, and cura personalis firsthand.

Placement Tests
HSPT and Challenge Exams
HSPT
The High School Placement Test (HSPT) is a standardized test used by all Catholic Schools.
The 2025 HSPT will be in-person on the Jesuit Sacramento campus. Students will choose their test date during the application process. There is a $50 application fee which is due at the time of submission and confirms an applicant’s seat for the test.
Challenge Tests
Challenge tests allow us to understand a student’s comprehension of a subject before permitting a jump to an accelerated or higher-level course.
Once your son has been accepted to Jesuit, you may sign up for one or more challenge tests through the registration process in Final Forms. Challenge tests occur in the morning and are available for Math, World Languages, Science and English.
