A: Incoming 9th graders are not at a disadvantage and go through the same admissions process as incoming 8th graders, but every 8th grader will receive at least 3 1/2 high school credits and will, therefore, be eligible for additional courses/electives prior to graduation.

A: Public school students go through the same admissions process with the same considerations.

A: Students are scheduled year-to-year based on individual needs. Students can be in both honors classes and academic classes during the same school year. Brother Martin offers a college prep curriculum in three levels of classes: Advanced Placement, Honors, and Academic.  We do not offer remedial classes.

A: Students applying for 8th & 9th grades are required to attend Application Day at their selected high school on Saturday, January 14, 2024.  A $30.00 one-time, non-refundable, non-transferable application fee will be collected from each student upon arrival at the high school.  Application Day at all high schools will begin at 8 a.m.  Brother Martin does not use the results of these tests for the acceptance or non-acceptance of applicants but rather to help with the academic placement of each applicant for the upcoming school year. The results will also be used in consideration for academic scholarships.

A: Yes. Any student who applies to Brother Martin has also applied for an academic scholarship; there is not a separate scholarship application. The criteria for scholarship eligibility includes: elementary school grades, standardized test scores, a record of conduct, and a composite score earned on the placement test administered at Brother Martin. The Scholarship Committee meets after students have completed the high school application process including the student receiving his official acceptance letter and the student officially registering to attend Brother Martin High School.

A: Yes. Financial assistance is based on need and is in the form of a Work-Study/Grant. Financial assistance applies to tuition only, not to registration fees. Financial assistance is discussed only after a student is accepted into Brother Martin, not during the admissions process.
