Knowing your child is important to the admissions process.  Whether it is through a teacher's recommendation, a student's report cards, personal anecdotal stories or standardized testing, the Admission Office  is eager to learn as much as possible about each prospective applicant to Presbyterian School.  Accordingly, the admission testing and school visits outlined below compose only a portion of a student's application file.

Special Note: Admission testing accompanied by an (*) indicates testing which Presbyterian School will share and receive results with other schools or independent testing sources. Please notify the Admission Office if  you have made arrangements to test elsewhere.  It is your responsibility to ensure that all test results are forwarded to the Admission Office. Sharing test results promotes the validation of test results and allows students to avoid repeated testing experiences.
