Prospective freshmen begin the application process at the start of their 8th grade year. We invite families to schedule a private tour to experience the school community and learn more about the academic experience. During this month parents typically begin submitting applications and required documents in preparation for the November placement exam. This exam, along with supporting academic documents, typically determine the academic track a student will be on during their freshman year.

Upperclassmen transferring into Bishop Verot generally apply throughout the year for admission at either the start of a school year or at the semester change. While we do not require transfer students to take the placement exam, we do require supporting academic documents and a statement of discipline from the student's previous school. * Verot does not accept senior transfers except under extenuating circumstances (out of area transfers).
