• Request Grades and Records

  Request your Grades/Records directly from your middle school. Your final sixth, seventh and first quarter/trimester eighth grade report cards are required, as well as your most recent standardized testing scores (if applicable). Submit your Request for Records form directly to your current school if you are attending a public or private/independent middle school. A built-in letter of recommendation is also included as part of this process.
  
  If you are attending an Archdiocesan/Catholic middle school, you do not need to complete or submit this form. Please notify your current school of your application to Calvert Hall, and they will coordinate the records process and provide us with a letter of recommendation on the student’s behalf. 

   

  Please note: Families do not need to upload the Request for Records form or any other documentation directly into the applicant’s online profile. Calvert Hall Admissions will mark this step as completed within the student’s checklist once all required documentation has been provided by his current school. A member of the Admissions team will contact you should additional information be required. Please contact Mrs. Lucy Baker at bakerl@calverthall.com or 410-825-4266 x117 with any questions about records.

• Take the High School Placement Test

  All 8^th grade students applying for admission to Calvert Hall are required to take the High School Placement Test (HSPT). Online registration for this mandatory entrance exam will open on September 15, 2026.
  
  Calvert Hall will host the HSPT on November 14 and November 21 from 9:00 a.m. - noon. 
  
  Students currently attending a private/independent middle school, public middle school, or are homeschooled are able to take the HSPT at Calvert Hall on either one of those two dates. 
  
  Students currently attending an Archdiocese of Baltimore (AOB) middle school will take the HSPT at their current middle school, during the school day, on November 17, 2026.
  
  Regardless of your testing location, all prospective Calvert Hall students should visit the HSPT Registration page by clicking here in order to register for the test. 

  
  Please contact Mrs. Lucy Baker, Admissions Assistant, at bakerl@calverthall.com or 410-825-4266 x117 with questions.

• LaSalle Applicants

  Students applying to the LaSalle Program should indicate their interest in the program on their admissions application. The LaSalle Program is designed specifically to support students with documented, language-based learning differences, including dyslexia and dysgraphia. As part of the application process, families will be asked to provide a psychoeducational evaluation completed within 12 months of the application submission date. Please note that a 504 Plan, IEP evaluation, or attention-deficit diagnosis alone does not meet the documentation requirements for the LaSalle Program. 
  
  If you have any questions, please contact the Director of the La Salle Program, Jennifer Healy, at 410-825-4266 x133.

• Upperclassmen Admission

  Upperclassmen who would like to apply to Calvert Hall for tenth or eleventh grade admission should contact Lucy Baker at 410-825-4266 x117.
