There is no charge for this testing beyond the $70 application fee. All entrance assessments are administered by our teachers individually or in a group setting.

First Grade - 30-45 minutes
Second - Fifth grade - 60 minutes
Educator's Recommendation Form
The Educator's Recommendation Form must be completed by the student's current teacher or previous year's classroom teacher.
Note: Since completing and submitting recommendations takes time from busy professionals (who often have other recommendations to write), parents are encouraged to request the recommendation at least 2-3 weeks before the application deadline. You may want to follow up with the teacher to make sure that the recommendation was completed. The application remains incomplete until the recommendation is received.
Clergy Recommendation Form
Clergy Recommendation Form or Parent/Guardian’s Statement (submit online) – The Clergy Recommendation, if available, is preferred over the Parent/Guardian Statement. This recommendation may be completed by a pastor, priest, current Sunday school teacher, or church leader who is involved in the applicant’s spiritual development. If a clergy recommendation is not available, families should submit the Parent/Guardian Statement.
Note: Since completing and submitting recommendations takes time from busy professionals (who often have other recommendations to write), parents are encouraged to request the recommendation at least 2-3 weeks before the application deadline. You may want to follow up with the church leader to make sure that the recommendation was completed. The application remains incomplete until the recommendation is received.
