Language proficiency requirement

Applicants for whom English is not their primary language are required to take the Duolingo English Test. This English proficiency test can be taken online, on-demand, in under an hour. The test is taken via a computer with a camera and includes a proficiency score, video interview and writing sample which are shared with Peddie Summer Academy when you send your results. Certified results are available within 24 hours of the test session. This requirement is waived for applicants who are currently attending a school where English is the primary language of instruction.
