Admissions Testing
Applicants to Preschool and Kindergarten are required to take a developmental test administered at SSCA. Applicants to grades 1-6 are required to have standardized testing scores from their current school. Students applying for grades 7 - 12 are required to take a Secondary School Admissions Test (SSAT). Please contact SSAT to schedule a test. You can contact them at 609-683-4440 (tel.), 800-442-7728 (fax), or online at www.ssat.org.
Interview/Shadow Day
A personal interview with the applicant and parent(s) is required. In addition, all applicants from 1st grade thru 12th grade are required to attend a Shadow Day, spending a full day visiting classes.
Notification
After the application file is completed and processed, SSCA will notify all prospective students as to their admission status. Applications will continue to be reviewed throughout the year until openings are filled. All subsequent applicants who are offered admission will be placed on a wait-list. Students will be drawn off the waiting list as openings become available.
Admitted Students
After notification of acceptance, the parent(s) of the student must sign and return the acceptance package within 2 weeks of notification. If the school does not receive this information by the deadline, the student's seat may be given to a student on the wait-list.
