Some private or independent schools require psychological or educational assessments as part of their admissions process. These evaluations help schools understand a student’s cognitive abilities, academic readiness, and learning profile.

Private school admission assessments may include:

• Cognitive ability testing
• Academic achievement testing
• Screening of attention, learning, and emotional functioning

The results provide:

• A comprehensive profile of the student’s abilities
• Documentation required for admissions committees
• Insight into the student’s learning style and strengths

These assessments help ensure that the student and the school are a good match for each other’s expectations and learning environment.
