The best way to learn more about CEC is to visit our campus. There are many wonderful opportunities to learn about our academic offerings, our award-winning programs, and our welcoming community!
The High School Placement Test (HSPT) is a standardized high school exam that covers five areas: verbal, language, reading, math skills, and math aptitude. The practice test that is administered in 7th grade is provided to help students prepare for CEC's Scholarship test that is administered in the Fall of 2026. THIS TEST CAN EARN STUDENTS AN EARLY-CANDIDATE SCHOLARSHIP! The test takes approximately 3 hours and results will be available 6-8 weeks after the test is taken. Check in begins at 8:30am and the test will begin shortly after that point.
