Admissions Events

Archbishop Wood High School hosts two Open Houses each year — one in the fall on October 22nd, 2026 and one in the spring. Both begin at 5:30 p.m. and include classroom presentations, demonstrations, and student-guided tours, with coaches and club moderators available to meet families. Registration is required.

Viking for a Day lets incoming 8th graders and transfer students shadow a current Archbishop Wood student from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Shadow days run every Tuesday and Thursday — plus one Wednesday a month — throughout the school year. Submit an application, then schedule through your parent portal. Dates fill quickly.

The HSPT is administered each fall for 8th grade students applying to Catholic high schools in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Archbishop Wood serves as a test site for families across Bucks and Montgomery counties.

Yes. Seventh graders can attend 7th Grade Visitation Day in the spring, where students follow a mock schedule, tour campus, explore clubs, and finish with a pep rally in the gym. Archbishop Wood also offers a 7th Grade Practice Scholarship Exam (Pre-HSPT) each April to prepare students for the fall scholarship test.
