HSPT PREP COURSE – Last Chance to Register!

We are here to help eighth-grade girls become more confident and prepared for the High School Placement Test (HSPT). During the four-day collaborative course, students will review the test design, learn general standardized test-taking strategies, and explore the test content in an interactive, energetic classroom environment. Following three days of instruction, students will take a full-length graded practice test on the fourth day. Students and parents will receive daily updates, and an analysis of practice test results will be provided after the test has been scored. Camps also include a FREE Refresher Course on Monday, Nov. 16, 2026, from 4 – 6 PM (available to any student who completes an HSPT Prep Class at MND).

SISTER DOROTHY SCHOLARSHIP INTERVIEWS

Monday, December 7 and Wednesday, December 9.

The Sr. Dorothy Stang, SNDdeN Scholarship celebrates young women who are eager to make a difference in their communities and in the world, just as Sr. Dorothy did. Named in honor of this courageous Sister of Notre Dame de Namur, the scholarship recognizes students who show a deep commitment to living out her values.

This opportunity is open to eighth-grade girls who aspire to live out qualities embodied by Sr. Dorothy. Through an on-campus interview, candidates will have the opportunity to share how they live out the values Sr. Dorothy championed, including service to others and faith in action, courage in the face of difficulty, defense of the powerless, and care for the environment, and how they hope to bring those gifts to the MND community.

Steps for the Merit Scholarship Interview Process:

1. Submit Your Application: Complete the Application for Admission to Mount Notre Dame.
2. Schedule Your Interview: Register for a 30-minute on-campus interview.
3. Prepare for Your Visit: About one week before your scheduled interview, families will receive details about what to expect, including a few topics that may be discussed.

Interview Day: Arrive at MND at your assigned date and time for a brief, informal conversation. Each student will first meet with MND Student Ambassadors, followed by a meeting with an MND faculty or staff member. While students are interviewing, parents are invited to relax in the MND Foyer and enjoy refreshments while connecting with an MND Administrator or a member of the Admissions Team.
The full interview process will last approximately 30 minutes.
