8th Grade Admissions Process

Shadow Days provide prospective students an invaluable opportunity to gain insight into our comprehensive academic programs, co-curricular activities, and rich traditions that shape our school and make us unique in a city with so many incredible options for an all-girls education. Whether your passions lie in STEM, arts, humanities, or athletics, our goal is to help you find your way to thrive and excel. You'll attend 3 classes paired with a current student in your grade, or if you know a current student, you're able to request them as your Hostess for the day.

Click here to create an account on the Nerinx Hall Admissions Parent Portal. The portal provides a checklist of information needed to complete the admissions process. You'll be able to complete the application form, check the status of your daughter's application, and more. Please write down/save your sign-in information and password; you will access the Admissions Parent Portal throughout the admissions process.

The application has multiple components that must be completed on the Parent Portal:

• Parental Supplemental Form
• Student Writing Response
• Student Activities and Awards List
• Academic Transcripts
  • Applicants from Missouri Catholic grade schools must have their Academic Transcripts sent via the Archdiocesan Transcript Request Form.
  • All other applicants will send a request for your daughter's transcripts in the Parent Portal.

Families can schedule a 20 minute interview in the Parent Portal. The applicant and at least 1 parent/guardians must attend. Interviews are available on December 3, 4, 9, and 10 and all take place in person at Nerinx Hall.

At Nerinx, we want to make a quality, college-prep education accessible to as many families as possible. Families seeking need-based tuition assistance are encouraged to complete a financial aid application through FACTS, our secure financial aid platform. Award amounts are based on a review of family income, assets, liabilities, and other factors. For details and step-by-step instructions on how to apply, visit our Tuition and Financial Aid page. 

Nerinx Hall continues to embrace our founding belief that diversity enriches. To encourage and support diversity in our student body, we offer a supplemental application and recommendation-based award to students of color who demonstrate academic excellence, leadership, and commitment to service.
