Application Process

Step 1:
Student Information Form

We believe students should have the power to present themselves in a way that accurately speaks to their ability and potential. St. George’s recognizes that standardized test scores may not fully reflect your academic journey. We will focus on your transcripts, essays, teacher recommendations and extracurricular talents for a more holistic evaluation. Championing test-optional practices will allow us to assess applicants’ strengths while promoting equity.

Exceptions to note:

To accurately assess your academic history, we will continue to require SSAT results from students who receive written evaluations in place of traditional grades or attend home school.

Applicants whose first language is not English are required to demonstrate their proficiency in English by submitting either the TOEFL, IELTS, or Duolingo results.

Testing Resources

Register for the SSAT, the ISEE or the TOEFL. Tests are administered in the fall and winter of each year.

SSAT (Secondary School Admission Test). Many 9th through 11th grade candidates will submit SSAT scores. (School code 6460)

Candidates taking the PSAT or SAT between September and January may submit either of those scores in place of SSAT scores.

ISEE (Educational Records Bureau Independent School Entrance Examination). (School Code 400085)

Candidates have the option to submit ISEE scores in place of SSAT scores. They should be submitted to admission@stgeorges.edu.

We believe that the journey matters, character and personal growth are an integral part of the St. George's experience. The Character Skills Snapshot is not a required component of the application. Grades and test scores don’t tell us the whole story and this online assessment tool helps provide us with additional insight while learning about our applicants.
