St. George's School

Application Process

We know the application process can be intimidating, and the Admission Office is here for you every step of the way. Here's a breakdown of the application process:

Step 1: Student Information Form

We'd love to learn more about you! Submit the student information form so we can better prepare for your visit.

Step 2: Interview

Let’s get to know each other! Schedule a zoom.

Step 3: Testing (Optional)

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.
