If your child is joining us for a class visit, the interviews will be scheduled for that day. Once we receive your application, an admission officer will contact you to arrange a date and time. The last day for class visits and interviews is January 31, 2025.
TESTING
Applicants should complete the Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE) by January 17, 2025. There are several testing options available, including online, paper-based, and at-home administrations. If you opt to take the test on a scheduled test date, these tests do not have to be taken at Severn, and may be taken at any school offering the exam. However, you must request on the registration form that the results be forwarded to Severn. Our school code for the ISEE is 210945. Click here to learn more about testing options and for registration. In-person testing registration closes three weeks prior to the testing date, and many test sites will fill up so please register early. Walk-ins are accepted, space permitting, although there is an additional fee.
The ISEE Test will be administered at Severn School on November 16, 2024 and January 11, 2025.
