Episcopal High School welcomes motivated and talented boys and girls of good character who will be entering 9th, 10th, and 11th grades.
Applications for admission are due January 31 and decision letters are mailed on March 10. Students whose applications are received after the deadline will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
Application Requirements
A complete application includes:
- a formal application form, one section of which is to be completed by the applicant and one by a parent or guardian;
- letters of recommendation from:
- an English teacher
- a mathematics teacher, and
- a school principal or counselor;
- an academic transcript; and
- a personal interview with an EHS Admissions officer.
In addition, testing is required of all applicants.
Admissions Interview
A personal interview with an Admissions Officer is an essential aspect of Episcopal's admissions application. During the interview, students will have the opportunity to share information about their current school, academic and extra-curricular interests, and their desire to attend boarding school. Appointments should be scheduled when School is in session, although we are happy to accommodate families year-round.
Testing
Applicants for the 9th and 10th grades should register to take the Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT) in November, December, or January. Scores received from the February test date will be accepted provided all other application requirements are met by the January 31 deadline. While the Admissions Office prefers the SSAT, the Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE) is also accepted for 9th and 10th grade applicants.
Applicants for the 11th grade may substitute the PSAT or SAT for the SSAT or the ISEE. Students for whom English is a second language may take the TOEFL test in addition to the SSAT. Visit the SSAT Student Guide Online for more information.
Formal Application
Students may choose to apply online or download application forms to the right.
Please note that, while we will accept the Boarding Schools Common Application Forms, we also require that you complete Parts C and D of the Episcopal High School forms.
