No, at this time they are optional. Students applying to Grades 5-12 have the option to sit for a standardized test—either the ISEE or the SSAT— for the 2021-22 and 2022-23 school years. Test scores only represent one component of the application process. The admission committee always considers the whole application file (including a student’s report card, interview, application, teacher recommendations) in order to get the fullest picture of a student.

Yes. A family meeting is required for all applicants to the school. Both parents and the child should be present. Students applying to Grades 6-12 are also interviewed individually. 

The Character Skills Snapshot is a required component of the application process for students applying to Grades 6-12.

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.

How much does it cost?
The cost of the Character Skills Snapshot is $40. Financial Aid applicants 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.

Viewpoint is proud to be a family-oriented community enriched by many families with more than one child at the School. We are committed to working closely with our current parents to determine if Viewpoint School is the best match for each of their children. We recognize that no one school is the perfect match for every child. Thus, our goal in the admission process is to enroll children who will find personal and academic success at Viewpoint.

To this end, Viewpoint gives priority in the admission process to siblings of currently enrolled students under the following conditions: Please note that we encourage all our Viewpoint families to apply to several schools since we cannot ever guarantee admission for any applicant.

The application deadline for siblings of current students applying to any grade is the same as the deadline for all other candidates.

1. Provided all other factors are equal and the sibling is academically qualified to enter Viewpoint.
2. Provided the family has maintained a positive relationship with the School, supporting its programs, policies, teachers, and administrators.
3. Provided there is space available in the grade to which the child is applying. Keep in mind that Viewpoint's entry grades are TK, Kindergarten, Sixth, Seventh, and Ninth Grades. A sibling may be placed in the Wait Pool if no space is available. We cannot ever guarantee the availability of spots in a non-entry-point grade.

Viewpoint offers financial aid to qualified applicants, emphasizing those in the higher grades first, and making awards at the lower grades when possible.  At this time, there is no financial aid available for the Transitional Kindergarten (TK).   Click on Financial Aid for detailed information on the Financial Aid application process.

Students in Grades K-8 wear uniforms provided by Dennis Uniforms. Students in Grades 9-12 follow a dress code. Students in TK do not wear uniforms, but rather, appropriate play-based attire in school colors.
