Terra Nova Test 2007/2008 

Conshohocken Catholic School emphasizes the concept of educating the whole child – Body, Mind and Spirit - and strongly believes that test scores are only one instrument that should be used in evaluating a school’s or individual student’s progress.

CCS uses test scores in concert with many other types of evaluations to analyze, formulate and edit curriculum.

The Terra Nova Standardized Test is administered once a year throughout the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. The primary purpose is to provide educators with specific information that assists them in making professional judgements. The results can be of a diagnostic nature and assists teachers in their annual curriculum plan.
