We are not accepting standardized academic admission testing this season. Given the challenges around testing many have experienced due to COVID-19, we have decided to take this one piece of the application process off of your plate. Please do not forward scores such as the SSAT or the ISEE to Cate School.
We are still requiring the TOEFL for any international students.

Teachers can simply scan the written recommendation and the graded paper/assignment together to create one PDF and then upload it on the recommendation form.
Cate School requires an official grade report from the current school year, complete through at least the first semester. This grade report should also include the student’s previous school year final grade report.
