Tests allow us to compare applicants to our current students and help us to determine if there is a good fit. Test scores are only one part of the application process; the application in its entirety – teacher recommendations, grades, the visit/interview and the test scores – are reviewed by the Admissions Committee when they meet. It is important to note that the strength of an individual application will be determined in part by the strength of the applicant pool.
Students applying to SK-3rd grade will take part in a short assessment when they visit campus. Students applying to 4th-12th grade must take the Independent Schools Entrance Exam. The admissions test is one piece of the application that is considered when reviewing candidates.
Please refer to your child's Veracross portal for information regarding test dates and directions for registering.
