In addition to the forms listed above, the application process at Santa Catalina School requires that all candidates have a personal interview. During your morning visit to campus, you and your parents will have the opportunity to tour campus, visit classes and interview with Admission Staff members. We believe an on-campus visit is the best way for you to get to know Santa Catalina School, as well as for the Admission Committee to get to know you.

Standardized Testing
All applicants must also submit standardized test scores in order to complete the application process. Most students applying to Santa Catalina take the Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT), however, the Admission Committee will also accept the Independent School Entrance Examination (ISEE) or PSAT (for students applying for Grade 11).
