Attending Fenwick

Learning about potential high schools is an exciting, but sometimes challenging process. As you prepare for the high school application process, we encourage you to learn about Fenwick, by attending an open house, scheduling a shadow day below and to send us your questions. We also hope that you will attend the many other events we host throughout the year such as athletic games and fine arts performances. Eighth graders who feel that Fenwick is the right fit and wish to apply, must take the Archdiocesan Entrance Exam at Fenwick in order to be considered for admission. The exam is held each year in early December.

If you ever require more information than is available on this website, please contact Lauren Kapusta in the Admissions Department at (708) 386-0127, ext. 109, or lkapusta@fenwickfriars.com.

You can also fill out an Admissions Inquiry and we will be in touch with you.
