The Application Process

There are several criteria that are used to determine acceptance to Jesuit High School. Students are evaluated as individuals to determine, as best as is possible, if they would meet with success in Jesuit’s educational program. This evaluation process is based on past academic performance, teacher recommendations, student responses to essay questions, as well as the applicant’s performance on a nationally named entrance exam.

Our applicants typically come from a diverse educational background. No one school provides a better opportunity for admission over another, and each year students are evaluated according to their individual records. The entrance exam allows prospective students to be compared to each other. However, it is not performance on this exam alone that determines acceptance. There is no specific score that can be considered to be a "passing" grade.

Normally, Jesuit accepts qualified students only into the freshman year. Occasionally, as space permits, a few sophomore transfers may be enrolled. Junior and senior transfers are not accepted. Individual decisions are made for students moving into Tampa from another Jesuit high school.

The Application for Admissions and a Registration for Entrance Exam form for the 2009-2010 school year is available through Admissions Director Steve Matesich '91, 813-877-5344, ext. 264.
