SCHOOL NOTES
How do I sign up for the 8th Grade Scholarship Test?
St. Charles is offering its annual 8th Grade Scholarship Test for prospective students on the final Saturday in January in the school’s Robert C. Walter Student Commons (this year, that date is January 30, 2021). Students have their choice of which time of day they wish to take the test: the 9 a.m. or 1 p.m. session. (Note: This date and these times are TENTATIVE at this moment as we continue to follow the safety guidelines set by the state of Ohio.)
The exam is open to any 8th grade boy regardless of his current high school enrollment status. Test results determine which students will receive merit-based academic awards from the school for the 2021-2022 school year. For this 2019-2020 school year alone, St. Charles has offered more than $400,000 in academic scholarships and grants to its students.
Anyone interested in sitting for the St. Charles scholarship test may register by clicking HERE.
Note: A young man does NOT need to have taken the test to be considered for admission! Its results are used to help determine who will receive merit-based scholarships and grants offered by the school to its students in the following school year. These academic scholarships are offered separately from, and are not associated with, the process to apply or receive financial aid funds from St. Charles. This process is accomplished through FACTS.

“To this day, my core group of friends remains those from St. Charles and whenever we get together we share and laugh about memories from our time there.
Specific things I recall are beating our league rival in soccer, praying before every class, learning from Sister Margaret the format for writing a paper (which I still use to this day), taking exams in the multi-purpose room, developing the study and time-management skills that I have applied in college and the rest of my life."
--Jay Knox, Class of 2006
"Our family strongly supports quality Catholic education. We believe in setting high expectations for our children so they are empowered to achieve great things.
St Charles provides our sons with a supportive environment that encourages hard work and perseverance. We have seen first-hand the growth and development of our three sons from young boys to men who are strong in their faith, active in the community and prepared for college. Our sons have benefited from the brotherhood of St Charles. It is entwined into the fabric and culture of the school and all of its families.
Most importantly, we have developed friendships that will last a lifetime.”
--Christopher and Karen Eramo
“My four years at St. Charles have provided me with a solid foundation built upon principles of faith, brotherhood, academic excellence and discipline.
I am confident that I am leaving St. Charles with the skills and experience needed to be a leader of consequence wherever life takes me.”
--Anthony Castrodale, Class of 2017
