Upper School (Grades 9 - 12)

Our admissions process begins by building a relationship with your family. Each step allows us to get to know your daughter and to better understand her readiness for our Upper School.
Submit an online application: The first step in the application process is to submit an online application in SaintsNet.

Testing: Testing is optional. If you would like to submit test scores (SSAT, PSAT, ISSEE) you will have the opportunity to do that through your SaintsNet checklist. For information on how to register for the SSAT visit ssat.org.
