After careful review of last year's assessment process implemented during Covid19 restrictions, we gained confidence that a virtual version of our assessment, to be captured on video by parents and sent to us, provided us with useful information to be added to the other elements of a child’s application.  More importantly, it also provided a safe, fun, and much lower stress experience for parents and children to share!

Upon receipt of your application, we will send you step-by-step instructions and a script to create three short videos (3-4 minutes each) of your child completing four fun activities.  You will shoot these videos with your Smartphone and upload them directly to your parent application portal.

Grades 1-4: Typically, applicants to Grades One through Four spend a little bit of time with us in a special testing session that helps us get a sense of their academic fit for our elementary program.  We will conduct brief one-on-one assessments over Zoom as part of the Family Meeting appointment. After receipt of your application, a member of the Admission team will contact your family to arrange this appointment.

Grade 5: Applicants to Grade 5 may either make arrangements on their own to sit for a standardized test (ISEE or SSAT, linked below), or they may schedule time with us for a one-on-one virtual admission assessment conducted live during the family meeting.

This information applies to all candidates to Grades 5-9.

Viewpoint has modified our admission process to adopt a test optional policy regarding the ISEE or SSAT. We want to ensure that our process remains equitable during this time of stress for families, as well as uncertainty over potentially limited access to standardized assessment sittings. 

This is in keeping with recent shifts in higher education, as college admission offices across the country are in the process of reexamining the use of standardized testing. The policy change allows our applicants to decide for themselves whether or not taking an at-home or in-person version of either the ISEE or SSAT would provide an accurate reflection of their academic ability and potential.

For more information about the ISEE and SSAT, click the links below.  

www.iseetest.org. (Viewpoint’s school code is 050423).  

www.ssat.org (Viewpoint’s school code is 7940).

Applicants to Grades 10-12: PSAT, SAT, ACT, SSAT, or ISEE
In the case of transfer student applicants (those applying to 10th, 11th, or 12th grades), Viewpoint encourages students to submit recent standardized test scores, if available. Viewpoint accepts the PSAT, PACT, SAT, ACT, ISEE, and SSAT.

For more information about testing options and locations for the ISEE and SSAT, click the links below.

We consider scores from either exam equally. Additionally, students may sit for these tests more than once if they like. They can also sit for both if they wish. 

Why?  Because character matters to us.

We know that your child is much more than just test scores and grades in an application folder. Those are important, but they tell us only part of who your child is. The Character Skills Snapshot (CSS) helps us to know your child better from multiple angles beyond grades and scores.

You may be considering Viewpoint because you are seeking an education that prizes and develops not only academic excellence, but also character, values and social-emotional growth. To that end, the Snapshot provides an opportunity for us to explore the ways in which Viewpoint’s community might enrich and benefit from your child’s intellectual curiosity, teamwork, initiative, responsibility, resilience, open mindedness, and social awareness.

The Snapshot can provide our Admission Committee with a clearer picture of your child’s personality and character. It complements traditional cognitive assessments and can illuminate your child’s unique attributes to a greater degree, helping us know your child better. On the Character Skills Snapshot, there are no “wrong answers.”

How much does it cost?
The fee to take the Character Skills Snapshot is $50. 

Families applying for Financial Aid will receive a fee waiver code via email. If you have questions about the fee waiver, please contact Patrick LaBo at patrick.labo@viewpoint.org. 

What’s involved in taking it?
Your child takes the Snapshot at home, online, at any time that’s convenient for them.  It’s about 20 minutes long. The Snapshot is accessed via a link provided to the parents upon registering.

How can I learn more? 
Click here for answers to commonly asked questions about the CSS.

How do I register my child to take the CSS? 
Create an account to register for the CSS here. For detailed instructions on how to register for the CSS, click here. 

How do we send the Snapshot report to Viewpoint? 
Within two weeks of your child taking the Snapshot, parents will receive notice that their child’s report has been posted.  Parents must then release the report to Viewpoint.

You cannot choose Viewpoint as a recipient prior to your receiving the report. For detailed instructions on how to send the report, click here. 

Parents have two options for submitting required Evaluations and Consent for Release of Student Information forms:

1.

Viewpoint School is authorized under Federal law to enroll nonimmigrant alien students. A small number of international students study at Viewpoint, and we are able to issue I-20s for international students. *Please note: international students requiring F-1 Visas are not eligible to apply for the TK program. 

International families interesting in applying should keep the following points in mind:

• Viewpoint is a day school with no boarding facilities, and we do not undertake to place international students in homestay programs.
• Viewpoint does not offer ESL courses. Non-native speakers of English must demonstrate excellent verbal and written English.
• We strongly prefer that students from abroad — if they are not living with their own family — reside with relatives or friends in the area who have a vested interest in their well-being.
• At this time, Family Meetings are virtual.  Should this change and we are able to offer in-person Family Meetings, we will contact families to see if they prefer virtual or in-person.
