ADMISSIONS
Welcome to the PJP Community!
Pope John Paul II is a Catholic college preparatory school located on a pristine 83-acre campus in Royersford, PA. What may separate PJP from other private and public schools is its ability to intentionally engage students in the three A's...Academics, Athletics, and Arts in a faith-based environment.
We look forward to getting to know you and your family better in the coming months. The first place to start if you are considering attending PJP is to submit an application. A link to the PJP application is below. Once your application is complete, you can commit to PJP by submitting your registration. Your point of contact at PJP is Director of Admissions Meghan Nealon-Weinberg meghan.nealonweinberg@pjphs.org

PJP offers scholarship based on merit. To qualify parents of students in 8th grade must submit their child's final 7th grade grades, evidence of community service and sit for the Scholarship Test. The scholarship test is given to 8th grade students who attend any catholic grade school in the Archdioceses of Philadelphia (AOP) during a regular school day as determined by their school. For public, non AOP private, charter, independent, virtual, home, or other school 8th graders, they can take the scholarship test at Pope John Paul II High School on Saturday, October 4th. To register for that test contact Meghan Nealon-Weinberg at meghan.nealonweinberg@pjphs.org . Merit Scholarships range from $1,000 to $5,000.

Financial Aid can be another important part of the application process. Financial Aid applications for the 2025-2026 school year are now open. This aid is directly to tuition only and does not cover fees and other expenses.
