Groups III-IV Testing
Please note that if testing is postponed/canceled due to COVID-19 complications, our office is ready to adjust our requirements accordingly. We will work with you to figure out the best course of action.
Many families in the Greenwich area apply to more than one local independent school. Because most of the schools in the area screen applicants using sections of the Educational Records Bureau, CTP 5, we have a common testing program which eliminates multiple testing for the applicant and provides families greater flexibility in scheduling. Schools in the program consider testing as only one aspect of the admission process. Consideration is also given to school records, school visits, and family interviews. Regardless of the school serving as the test center, you may request your child’s test results to be sent to any independent school listed below.
