STUDENT APPLICATION INFORMATION

Application

Saturday School for Scholars and Leaders is designed to meet the educational needs of gifted and talented children. Students may either receive Provisional or Full admission.

Provisional Admission is offered to all students for 1 year. Students receiving provisional admission may register for classes, but have one year from the date of initial application to provide evidence of meeting the admission criteria. Students who do not provide this evidence within the year time limit will not be allowed to remain in the program.

Full Admission to the program requires meeting the specific criteria for admission at the time of first application. In order to receive full admission, all students must have the required test scores (see criteria below) and be recommended by school personnel or the testing psychologist.

Returning students who have Full admission status do not have to resubmit test scores and recommendations each time they register.

Acceptance letters will be sent 10 days prior to the beginning of the session.
