We will be leading optional, small group tours throughout the admissions season. Registration is via Ravenna on a first-come, first-served basis. There will be limited appointments for these tours, so if you do not have an opportunity to tour in the fall, we will also be offering all accepted families a 1:1 tour in February once decisions are released.

Dwight requires either the ISEE or SSAT. While testing/assessments are required at Dwight, we consider this to be just one of the many ways we get to know our applicants. 

• For the ISEE test, your child’s testing is administered by the Educational Records Bureau (ERB) and should be arranged by contacting the ERB office through their website or by calling 800.446.0320 and listing our School as a recipient. Our school code is 333605. 
• For the SSAT, your child’s testing is administered by the Secondary School Admissions Bureau (SSATB) and should be arranged by visiting the SSAT site or by calling 609.683.5558 and listing our School as a recipient. Our school code is 2930. Please submit testing to the Admission Office by January 16, 2023.
• For International applicants, we require either the ISEE or SSAT which can be done online or at a Prometric Center. If applicants can not take the test online or at a Prometric Center, they should contact the admissions department to discuss an alternative.

We will be holding in-person and virtual Middle School Open Houses in the fall. Please visit our Admissions Events page for more information.

Once you have submitted an application, you will be able to schedule a student virtual interview. Applicants should bring paper and a pencil to the virtual interview, as they will be doing some writing.

Once you have submitted an application, you will be able to schedule your parent interview via Ravenna. We will be conducting parent interviews for grades 6-8 via Zoom throughout the admissions season.

The transcript release form and teacher recommendation forms should be submitted to the candidate’s present school. If the transcript and teacher recommendation forms are not completed in English, an official translation must also be provided.

Current fifth graders applying to sixth grade are required to submit one teacher recommendation from their fifth grade head teacher.

For students applying to seventh and eighth grades, two different teacher recommendations are required, but they can be from the same school year.
