Each division has a checklist of items that need to be completed in order for an applicant to be considered. You can see your checklist here after the application form is submitted.

All students applying for Grades 6 to 11 are required to complete the SSAT (Secondary School Admissions Test). The SSAT helps us to determine the applicants academic level in a variety of areas. We use this test as one part of our admissions decision but it is not the only factor considered.

Visit the SSAT Website

What is the SSAT: The SSAT measures the basic verbal, math, and reading skills students need for successful performance in independent schools. It's an indispensable tool that gives admission professionals an equitable means to assess and compare applicants, regardless of their background or experience.

Please keep in mind that we also consider the applicants previous grades, recommendation letters, character, and social skills when making a decision. 

Due to COVID-19 we are currently holding all interviews online over video conferencing.

Applicants are required to participate in an entrance assessment to determine their suitability for our school’s program. Based on the grade level the applicant is applying to, assessments range from one to two hours in length.

Only applicants with completed applications, including all supporting documents will be invited to grade level assessments.

Applicants will be contacted regarding the admissions decision shortly after their assessment and/or classroom visit.

• All decisions will be posted in the Meadowridge Apply Portal.
