4. Evaluation 

Children entering Pre-K3 must be three years old before September 1 and completely toilet trained. All Pre-K3 students will be tracked during the school year to ascertain their developmental readiness for Pre-K4.

Pre-K4 and Kindergarten applicants meet individually by appointment with one of our teachers or administrators. We utilize the Gesell Developmental Assessment Test and a classroom visit to evaluate readiness for our program. Applicants for Grades 1-4 are required to participate in an academic evaluation and interview administered at the school. The evaluation includes sections on reading comprehension, and verbal and math skills. The evaluation materials are prepared by St. Johns teachers to ensure the right match between an applicant and the school. Applicants for Grades 5-12 are required to take the ISEE (Independent School Entrance Exam). The ISEE is administered on the St. Johns campus on following dates:

5. Student Visit and Interview 

Applicants for Grades 6-12 are required to interview with a member of our administration and are encouraged to spend the day with us to become more familiar with a day-in-the life of a St. Johns student. Applicants will visit the classroom and tour the campus with a specially-selected student ambassador.
