All applicants for grades Pre-K–4 are expected to take an admission assessment with a Geneva School faculty member. All applicants for grades 5–12 are expected to take the Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE). The admission committee may accept results from the Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT) from applicants outside Orlando and the surrounding area and from other states.
A current Comprehensive Testing Program CTP-4 through ERB may be accepted in lieu of the ISEE as long as the test was taken within six months of the application deadline date.
Applicants who have taken the Pre-Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT), Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), or ACT as a high school student may not need to take the ISEE. Call the Admission Office if you have questions regarding testing.
The Independent School Entrance Examination (ISEE) is a three-hour admission test for entrance into grades five through twelve. The ISEE has three levels: a Lower Level for students currently in grades four and five who are candidates for admission to grades five and six, a Middle Level for students in grades six and seven who are candidates for admission to grades seven and eight, and an Upper Level for students in grades eight to eleven who are candidates for admission to grades nine through twelve.
The ISEE consists of carefully constructed and standardized verbal and quantitative reasoning tests that measure a student’s capability for learning, as well as reading comprehension and mathematics achievement tests that provide specific information about an individual’s strengths and weaknesses in those areas. All levels include a timed essay written in response to an assigned topic. The essay is not scored, but a copy is forwarded to the recipient schools along with the Individual Student Report, which shows scaled scores, percentiles, and stanines.
You should register at least three weeks in advance for one of the test dates listed above at www.iseetest.org. The Geneva School’s test site code is 102100.
