Saturday, February 20, 2021
9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

All students interested in attending Villa Joseph Marie are encouraged to take the 6th & 7th Grade Practice Test. While this is certainly not mandatory, it helps many students to become comfortable with the test and gain an understanding of where their strengths and weaknesses lie. It is important to note that the practice test is simply that—practice—and the results will not be considered if the student applies for admission as an eighth grader.

Seventh-grade students who score 90 or above on the Practice Test may be invited to participate in an Early Candidates Program. These students will interview prior to the 8th Grade Entrance/Scholarship Examination and have the opportunity to complete the admissions and acceptance process early.

Please note: All students applying for admission to Villa Joseph Marie — including Early Candidates — must take the Entrance/Scholarship Examination in the fall of eighth grade to be considered.

Visit Villa bright and early this fall! Girls and their parents are invited to Rise and Shine — an opportunity for students to experience their first taste of the Villa environment without losing a whole school day. Note: This is not an opportunity to shadow. This presentation will give students and their parents the opportunity to hear from current staff members, students, and parents, then participate in a Q&A session, in a socially distanced setting in our Performing Arts Center.
