Corpus Christi students in Piedmont often look ahead to the Catholic high schools of the East Bay, which means the High School Placement Test in January of 8th grade. Students take it once, at one school, and send their scores to the others.
Tell us about your student, and we’ll match them with a UC Berkeley tutor who fits.
Our UC Berkeley tutors help 7th and 8th graders prepare, and help younger students with math, reading and writing. Sessions are one-on-one, at your home in Piedmont or online.
The HSPT
For students entering high school in fall 2027, the test is on Saturday, January 9, 2027. Bishop O’Dowd and Saint Mary’s College High School are both test sites, and scores can go to as many as three schools, so one prep plan covers every school on the list.
How we prepare students
Our HSPT prep starts in the fall, builds vocabulary, reading speed and math skills, and ends with timed practice tests. With CYO sports on top of schoolwork, afternoons fill quickly, and we fit sessions around practices and games.
Younger students
We also help younger Corpus Christi students with math, reading and writing, and with the study habits that make the move to high school easier. For a young child, we choose a tutor who is patient and encouraging.
