Freshman Requirements

ADMISSIONS CRITERIA

Ladywood admits students who desire to continue to develop their faith life, strive to reach their highest academic potential, and possess self-discipline. Admittance is based upon HSPT scores, past academic performance and attendance, teacher recommendations, a possible student interview, and a student’s potential for success at Ladywood.
