The Test for Admission to Catholic High Schools is accepting applicants now. Parents are urged to look at this information site (link here) and read each of the links in the left-hand column. You may have to print out some of the forms and directions. The list of schools is posted sideways on the PDF, so printing those pages would help you to read the information. It would appear that the thirteen Catholic high schools of The Bronx offer 2,295 places for incoming freshmen.

Please also note the dates of the Open House visitations and the Information Fairs.

For students and parents intent on Catholic high school admission, the important point is to GET MOVING, as instructed above.
