If I’m Interested in Scranton Prep
for My High School Years,
What Should I Do?


Contact the Office of Admissions at 570-941-7737, extension 141,
to be placed in our prospective students data base.
You will be notified personally of all the following opportunities.


--Experience Scranton Prep firsthand at our Open House on Sunday, October 17th, 2010. See why we’re called the Prep Family. Meet students, faculty, parents, and administrators. Have your questions answered in person.


--Attend the Prep after school tutoring program, if you’re not completely sure you’re ready to take the Entrance Exam. Meet some current eighth graders from other schools and possible future classmates. This is a good opportunity to review important arithmetic and English grammar concepts. Actual portions of former Entrance Exam questions are used.


--Challenge yourself by taking the Scranton Prep Scholarship Entrance Examination on Saturday, December 4, 2010.

--Apply for Scranton Prep, after receiving notification of successful results on the Scholarship Entrance Examination.

--After successful completion of the Scholarship Entrance Exam, sign up for the VIP (Visitor In Prep) program and experience the real world of ScrantonPrep. Spend a day at Scranton Prep. This will be an actual school day, not on contrived to put on a false front. Make friends with Prep students, while you shadow a current freshman through his or her day. Sit in on real classes.


--This is the last step for acceptance. Come in with your parents for an interview. Answer questions to help you find out if Scranton Prep is a good match for you. Your future professional life will be filled with interviews. Now is a good time to experience perhaps your first, serious, important interview.


--If all goes well, receive your letter of acceptance. Accept the congratulations and enjoy the feeling of satisfaction that comes with the accomplishment of being accepted to Scranton Prep.


--If finances are a concern, apply for financial aid. Your parents will receive the information on necessary forms and information. A determination will be made on how much Scranton Prep will cost you and your parents.


--Submit the deposit and begin to look forward, not only to the next four years, but also to a life of excellence, accomplishments, and service.
