All candidates for 9th and 10th grade are required to take the Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT).
Please note: For domestic applicants, the Independent School Entrance Examination (ISEE) will now be accepted as an alternative to the SSAT. All candidates for 11th grade and the postgraduate year are required to provide results of the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT), the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or the American College Testing Program (ACT).
Applicants from countries other than the United States are also expected to take one of the above-mentioned examinations in addition to an appropriate test of their ability to communicate in English. These test options include the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) or the Duolingo English Test in addition to one of the appropriate above-mentioned tests. If the applicant attends an international school or a junior boarding school in the United States, the TOEFL, TOEFL Essentials, IELTS or Duolingo English Test may be waived.
