Can my child take the HSPT in Switzerland, or do we have to fly to the U.S.?

At the moment, the HSPT is not widely offered in Switzerland through open international test centers. Most students are required to take it directly at the U.S. Catholic high school where they are applying. This often means traveling to the U.S. for the exam or coordinating with the school to arrange a proctored exam during a visit.

That said, families based in Switzerland can prepare extensively from home. At Cardinal Education, we help students get fully ready before they set foot on campus. We provide mock HSPT testing conditions, real-time feedback, and strategies tailored to help students walk in with confidence, even if it’s their first time in that environment. For families unable to travel, some schools may allow remote proctoring under specific circumstances, but these are handled on a case-by-case basis. We’ll help you navigate those details and communicate directly with the schools. You won’t be doing it alone.
