During these in-person appointments, students–together with their parents/guardians–meet with one of our school counselors and register for 2025/2026 freshman courses.

Parents/guardians of students who have accepted our offer to attend BCHS will receive emails with information about making this appointment. Please note that freshman registration is only open to families who have sent in both the Trojan Intent Form and tuition deposit.

Questions about freshman course registration? Contact Karen Aruta, Enrollment Manager, at karuta@bishopchatard.org or 317-251-1451 ext. 2234.

BCHS will offer Health Class during the summer. The class will be conducted Monday to Friday, June 2 – 20, from 8 to 11:30 am. One credit hour is earned for the course. This summer school class is a great way to earn a credit hour and open space in a schedule for other courses over the student’s high school career. The cost is $200.

This course is conducted in person on the Bishop Chatard campus.
