Yes, Cardinal Gibbons hosts one Open House during the year. During Open House, prospective students and parents are invited to meet our faculty, staff, and current CGHS students and explore our extensive academic and athletic facilities. 

If you were not able to make it to our Open House, we’d still love to see you! Cardinal Gibbons offers small group tours on select weekdays, providing prospective families with the opportunity to explore our campus, meet faculty and students, and gain insight into life at Gibbons. Tours are led by our Admissions team and Student Ambassadors, offering a comprehensive overview of the process to becoming a Chief along with the perspective from our current students!

You can easily schedule your visit using our calendar here: Schedule Your Tour HERE!

Please note: Campus tours are optional and not required to complete your application.

We look forward to welcoming you to Cardinal Gibbons and sharing all that makes our school community exceptional.

Families are encouraged to apply first for need-based financial aid through the following State-Sponsored Programs:

Step-Up for Students (SUFS) www.stepupforstudents.org

All applicants must provide standardized tests taken within three (3) previous academic years. Standardized test results may be recorded on student’s transcripts, but any additional test results (ex: PSAT), should be included with documentation sent to the Admissions Department. 

Cardinal Gibbons requires all applicants to take the Admissions Entrance Exam (HSPT). Registration is automatically completed with the submission of the application. 

Standardized test scores, including HSPT scores, are only a portion of the materials considered when rendering an admission decision. Transcripts, report cards, and recommendations are all part of the admissions application. All documents are holistically reviewed to evaluate prospective students and assess if Cardinal Gibbons is the right fit.

All official report cards, transcripts and test scores need to be submitted directly from the student’s previous school. 

If an applicant has attended a non-traditional school or was homeschooled, we still require them to submit two (2) letters of recommendation to complete the application process. However, since these students may not have formal teachers, we request that both letters of recommendation be written by a recommender other than the applicant’s parents or family members. Acceptable recommenders include, but are not limited to, tutors, youth group leaders or academic counselors.
