At St. Philip’s Academy we define placement as guidance counseling, information sharing, test preparation and various and sundry services to facilitate successful transition from St. Philip’s Academy to the selective secondary school best suited for the students and their families.
Beginning in fifth grade, families participate in placement workshops and enrichment programs to prepare them for the transition into an independent high school. Seventh and eight graders enter into a more intensive part of the placement process. They participate in overnight school visits, mock interviews, and test preparation.
