fee of $5.00 and a photograph must accompany each application, as
must the Preliminary Health Report. Applications for tuition assistance
are sent only upon request. Space for request will be found on
the application for admission.
Applications for admission are welcome at any time of year, but
it is to the applicant's advantage to file before December 1 of the
year preceding the year of matriculation. By February 15 most of
the incoming class will have been accepted; the vacancies remaining
will be few.
A visit to the campus and an interview the School considers imperative
in all instances where visiting is possible. The visit should
be made before January 15 at a time when the School is in session.
The School is not open during the Christmas vacation. Arrangements
for visits and interviews should be made through the Director
of Admissions.
The academic fitness of an applicant is determined by his academic
record and by a series of entrance tests. The School can not
seriously consider any candidate in the absence of either.
The applicant's academic record the School will obtain, but
applicants are expected to register for and take the December Secondary
School Admission Tests. These tests are given by the Educational
Testing Service of Princeton at various centers throughout
the country. The School will send full information about the tests
well in advance of the test date. Those who complete the tests successfully
will ordinarily be expected to take St. Andrew's substantiating
tests in English, mathematics, and a foreign language if
the applicant wishes to pursue at St. Andrew's a foreign language
begun elsewhere.
St. Andrew's substantiating tests are not given at the School.
They will be sent for administration to any teacher, school or agency
capable of administering them. All arrangements are made and all
costs are borne by the parents of the applicant. Tests must be returned
to the School within one week of the day on which the
tests are received by the testing agent or agency.
All applicants who have not taken the December Secondary
School Admission Tests will take the full battery of St. Andrew's
School entrance tests. These tests will be mailed for adn1inistration
elsewhere, as outlined in the paragraph preceding.
