Standardized Tests

The SSAT for the 2020-21 school year will be optional. However, we do require Grade 9 applicants complete the Character Snapshot. 
 
How do families take The Snapshot? Create an account on ssat.org. Register for the SSAT or purchase The Character Skills Snapshot. When families register for the SSAT, they receive free access to take The Character Skills Snapshot. Families who will not register for the SSAT can purchase The Snapshot for $40. Once a student is either registered for the SSAT or a parent has purchased The Snapshot on their behalf, parents must consent to allow their children to access the assessment. To take The Snapshot, the student logs into their account, agrees to the Integrity Statement, then proceeds.
