Every applicant for Upper School is required to schedule a student interview and an informal family conversation with an Upper School Admissions Director. These appointments will only take place over Zoom. This is an opportunity for students and parents to ask questions and learn more about Dwight’s curriculum and programs.

Additionally, applicants interested in our learning support program, Quest, will be required to schedule a virtual assessment with a Quest faculty member in the fall.

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.

The transcript release form and teacher recommendation forms should be submitted to the applicant’s present school. The teacher recommendation forms must come from both the student's math and English/native tongue teachers and should be completed after December 1 to ensure an accurate assessment of the student’s performance. If the transcript and teacher recommendation forms are not completed in English, an official translation must also be sent. All of the required forms can be downloaded below.
