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 15, 2024.
• International applicants: ISEE or SSAT tests may be taken online or at a Prometric Center in your home country. If either option is not possible, please reach out to the Admissions Office and we can discuss alternative options.

Please visit our Admissions Events page for more information and a listing of upcoming events.

Once you have submitted an application for your child, you will be able to choose a virtual or in-person student interview. Please choose the option that works best for your family. Applicants will do some writing as part of the interview and they can either type or write their work by hand.

Please schedule your virtual parent interview via Ravenna.

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 recommendations are required from separate teachers.
