The Entrance Exam is a crucial step in the admissions process at JCA. All incoming freshmen must take the exam to receive acceptance and appropriate course placement in one of JCA’s three levels of curriculum.

To stay ahead in the admissions process, Voss encourages eighth-grade families to register for the Pre-Entrance Exam Workshop and Parent Admissions Informational Meeting set for 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 4. The Entrance Exam for all incoming freshmen will be held from 8:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 7.

“It is important to stay on top of the steps that are part of the JCA application process,” Voss said. “We encourage eighth-grade families to register for our entrance exam December 7th so they can be among the first future Angels and Hilltoppers to receive their admission decision and merit scholarship information.”
