2. Test

Standardized testing is required and test scores will be considered as part of the holistic review of your application. We accept the SSAT or the ISEE.

When we determine if you are a strong fit for Peddie’s rigorous academic curriculum and rich, multi-faceted programs and community, we review every part of your application. Test scores do not impact our consideration of need-based financial assistance.
