Class of 2029 Information

Immaculate Heart Academy requires an online application due on December 1, the HSPT, and transcripts from sixth, seventh, and eighth grade that include standardized testing.

1. APPLICATION: The Immaculate Heart Academy admissions application for the Class of 2029 consists of a required Online Application due on December 1. You will be required to set up an account, which will allow you to save before submitting and track the status of your application.
   
   
2. TRANSCRIPTS: An applicant’s current school must upload transcripts via the applicant portal or send over transcripts to IHA no later than December 15. Each applicant will find the Applicant Transcript/Record Request Form on their applicant portal to complete. The student’s parent or guardian completes the Permission for Release of Records section, the Student Information section, and the High School Choice section of this form. The student gives the signed form to the 8th-grade teacher, counselor, or principal at the student’s current school, and the appropriate staff member at the student’s current school will fill out the rest of the information and submit to IHA. IHA will not accept transcripts unless they are directly from the school. We require transcripts from sixth-grade, seventh-grade, and the first marking period/trimester of eighth-grade.
   
   *Letters of recommendation are optional and can be submitted through the online applicant portal.
   
   
3. HIGH SCHOOL PLACEMENT TEST (HSPT): The HSPT for the Class of 2029 will be held on November 8, 2024. Registration for the exam can be completed at www.njcoopexam.org. Immaculate Heart Academy is a test site, but students do not need to take the HSPT at IHA in order to apply.

Please Note: Due to the number of applications we receive, Immaculate Heart Academy gives priority to those students who select us as their first choice on the HSPT Exam and on their transcripts.
