Thank you for considering Christian Brothers High School. Christian Brothers has been educating young men in Memphis since 1871 and worldwide since 1681 when John Baptist de La Salle began teacher training in Reims, France. In 1900, de La Salle was canonized a saint in the Roman Catholic Church. In 1950, Pope Pius XII named him as the “special Patron of all Christian Educators.” The Christian Brothers currently have over 900 schools in 83 countries. The headquarters of the Brothers of the Christian Schools is in Rome, Italy.

Admission for the 2008-09 school year at CBHS is open to young men entering grades 9-12. The placement test for incoming 9th graders takes place on the first Saturday of December and the second Saturday in February. In order to take the placement test, the incoming 9th grader must first be registered with CBHS and have paid the $75 registration fee. Upon acceptance, contracts and all necessary information will be mailed to the parents.

While Christian Brothers High School maintains a fully accredited college preparatory program of studies, multiple-level courses provide flexibility for individual differences and abilities. In keeping with that philosophy, enrollment is on a “first come, first served” basis, and we take the first 230 students that have turned in the enrollment contracts along with a deposit. Deadline for contracts is March 1st.

Tuition for the 2008-09 is $8,100. Books and fees are estimated to be an additional $800. Christian Brothers High School offers scholarships, and financial aid is available based on need. The business office handles all financial aid requests once contracts have been submitted.
