Application Process

Important Application Dates

January 15: Priority Application Deadline: Applications submitted after this date will be considered based on availability of space.

February 1: Deadline to complete applicant files. This includes submission of test results, school records, teacher recommendation(s), and completion of family interview.

Mid-March: Admissions decisions are sent to students applying by the priority deadline.

Admissions Process

Step 1: Submit The Admissions Application

Complete an online application. The priority deadline for submitting applications is January 15.

Step 2: Register For A Placement Test

Standardized testing for applicants is optional but preferred. While testing provides additional information to help the admissions committee make decisions that are in the best interest of the applicant. We won't penalize families who may be uncomfortable with a testing environment or unable to access testing.

  • WPPSI for Kindergarten and 1st grade applicants
  • WISC for 2nd through 4th grade applicants
  • ISEE for 5th through 12th grade applicants

Please note that Saint Thomas' Episcopal School will offer ISEE testing to applicants on January 30, and we will be a closed test site this year. This means that applicants to STE for the next school year are the only ones allowed to register for testing on our campus. Applicants to grades 5th through 12th should receive a testing code within seven days of a completed application submission. If you would like to test on our campus, we strongly recommend you submit a completed admissions application by December 1. and register for ISEE testing by mid-December. Note that testing availability is limited due to social distancing protocols, and therefore not guaranteed. STE also accepts ISEE scores from any other testing location.

Step 3: Submit Transcripts

The transcript release form should be submitted to your child’s current school in early December so that their first semester grades are included in the official records the school sends STE.

We will accept official transcripts emailed directly from an employee at the applicant’s current school

Step 4: Provide Recommendation(S)

  • If applying to Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th, only one teacher recommendation is required.
  • If applying to 6th or higher, two teacher recommendations (one from a Math teacher and one from an English teacher) are required. The two teacher recommendation forms should be given to your child’s current Math and English teachers in early December.

Teacher recommendations may be emailed directly from a teacher or other school employee

Step 5: Attend A Family Interview

After submission of your child’s completed admissions file, you should schedule a family interview in your password protected online admissions portal. The interview will be conducted using video conferencing, and the applicant and one or both parents should be present for the interview.

Please Note

For files completed after the published deadlines, the Admissions Committee will render decisions as it is able provided that available space remains in the desired grade of entry.
