Dear Parents,

As you know, the Saturday School for Scholars and Leaders program requires that students meet certain criteria for enrollment in the program.  This is done in an effort to target students of high ability for our classes.  In response to a growing problem, we are modifying enrollment procedures for kindergarten children only.  One of our admission criteria involves having scores on standardized achievement tests in the 90^th percentile or higher.  We will generally accept any nationally normed standardized achievement tests.  However, this has become increasingly problematic for kindergarten students who do not get tested until 1^st grade, leaving private testing as the only alternative for admission to the Saturday School program.

 

Therefore, we are offering a “Provisional Acceptance” program for kindergarten students.  Under this program, kindergarten students can be admitted provisionally without standardized test scores.  The letter of recommendation, application form and fee would still be required to complete registration.  Students who enroll in Saturday School under the Provisional Acceptance program must provide the required test scores within one year of first Saturday School session attended.  The submitted test scores must meet our admission criteria in order for the student to continue in the program past the 1 year deadline. 

 

The Provisional Acceptance program will be available for Kindergarten students only.  All other students are still required to submit proper documentation including test scores, when they are applying to Saturday School for the first time.

 

Should you have any questions or comments, please contact us at 404-413-8029, or saturdayschool@gsu.edu

 

Best Regards,
