The first step in our admissions process is to fill out a brief interest formThen, a member of our team will reach out to you to discuss any questions you have and help you with the next steps.
All students are required to take a placement exam as part of the enrollment process and also a written essay. The placement exam is used as a diagnostic tool to ensure students are placed in the appropriate section of math or Latin, and to help identify areas of academic strengths and opportunities for growth. We administer the Classic Learning Test 8 as our placement exam for incoming freshmen. The placement exam covers:
- Verbal reasoning skills - Grammar and writing skills - Quantitative reasoning skills - An optional Latin exam is also offered
Once the majority of the admissions process is complete, we'll schedule a meeting with you, your student, and our chairmain/headmaster to ensure we're the right fit for your family.
