Applicants and their parents should arrive at the School by 8:15 a.m.

Be sure to bring the original of both the birth certificate and the certificate of eligibility for English instruction. By law, the School must retain copies of each of these documents on file. Also, please bring a copy of the applicant's latest available report card.

Applicants should bring two HB pencils and a good eraser; calculators are not permitted during the test.

The entrance examination begins at 8:30 a.m. and usually lasts three hours.

While the examination is taking place, parents will have an interview with a member of the administration and will be offered a visit of the School. Refreshments will be served. Applicants are invited to join our students in the dining room for lunch.

After lunch, applicants will have a meeting with a member of the administration. All students will be ready to leave by approximately 2:00 p.m.

Please Note
