Admissions

Dear Prospective Students and Parents,

Choosing a high school to prepare a young person for college and a career is an important decision. We are pleased you are considering Bishop George Ahr High School.

BGA offers a wide range of college preparatory courses, athletics and organizations that make high school a challenging and exciting experience. We hope you will get to know us better by attending our Open House, Freshman for a Day Program, any of our athletic events or our Drama productions.

We are proud of our tradition of preparing students for success and we look forward to welcoming you into "Ahr" community.

Sincerely,
Susan Paluskiewicz
Director of School Counseling Services



Admission Information

In order to be considered for admission to the Freshmen Class, the student must submit an application that includes a record of grades for the 6th, 7th and 8th years and take the entrance test that will be given in November.

Applications for the entrance test can be obtained in several ways:

  • At BGA's Open House;
  • By coming to the Counseling Office and picking up an application;
  • By calling the Counseling Services at 732-549-1108 ext. 616 and asking that an application be sent.
  • Parochial school students can receive applications from their principal.
  • CCD students can receive applications from their CCD principal.

No freshman student is admitted to BGA without taking the entrance test because admission is based on the entrance test scores, elementary school grades, test scores and principal's recommendation.

Freshman Admissions

Any eighth grade student interested in applying for admission to our incoming freshmen class is required to take the High School Placement Test (HSPT) of the Diocese of Metuchen and complete an application. Please contact our School Counseling Office for testing information and application procedure.
