All applicants for Lower, Middle, and Upper School must also submit teacher recommendations, official transcripts from their current school, and participate in admissions testing. Please see #4 below for additional information on what tests are required for each grade. 

Finally, Middle and Upper School applicants must submit a confidential school report to complete their admissions packet.  

The Meadows School's admissions committee seeks to better understand a prospective student's strengths in a school environment. To do this, we ask all families to register applicants for a skill-based achievement test. Students applying for grades 2-8 will take the ISEE, while students applying for grades 9-10 will take the SSAT. (The SSAT offers fee waivers for eligible families.) Families must register for their respective test and share the scores with The Meadows School's Admissions Office. To have the scores automatically shared with the school, use SSAT School Code: 4993 and ISEE School Code: 290501 when registering online.

Students applying for kindergarten will be required to participate in one of our kindergarten assessment dates.

Students applying for grade 1 will be required to take an assessment with faculty from our Lower School. The Admissions Office will reach out to schedule this assessment.

Testing for students entering the Beginning School is not required.

Students applying for Beginning School will be required to participate in a family visit. For 30 minutes, a child will join a classroom, and the parents will be interviewed simultaneously.

Shadow days are required for students applying for 1st - 5th grade. Once a student has completed all of the required checklist items, the admissions office will reach out to schedule a shadow day.

Shadow days consist of a full schedule (8:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.) and lunch is provided. Shadow day guests are required to bring their own snacks and water bottle.

Middle and Upper School shadow days are optional. Please reach out to the Admissions Office if you would like to schedule a shadow day.

The Meadows School is a secure campus. Visits are by appointment only. Visitors who arrive without a set appointment time will be asked to leave and to contact our Admissions Office to schedule their visit.

We look forward to meeting each and every family that applies to The Meadows School! During the admissions process, the school will reach out to schedule an interview with prospective students and their families to finish the application process.
