Admissions Information
Admissions Process
• Recommendations: We require three recommendation forms from a current English teacher, math teacher, Principal/Counselor. • Report cards/transcripts for the 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 school years are required for all applicants. • Students applying to grade 12 and PG must provide all records from grade 9. • Standardized Testing: Students applying to grades 6-9 are asked to submit their most recent state testing. If taken and scores are available, the SSAT may be submitted instead. Students applying to grades 10-12 and PGs are asked to submit their most recent SSAT, PSAT, ACT Aspire, SAT or ACT scores. All international applicants whose first language is not English are asked to take the TOEFL/TOEFL Junior, IELTS or Duolingo English Test (DET) and provide SSM with official score reports. The DET is reliable and user-friendly, and students can take the test on any platform. International students with any questions about standardized tests should contact Andrew Garlinski '98, Director of International Recruitment, at andrew.garlinski@s-sm.org.

Learning Support
Our goal is to foster the academic success of students by providing them with the academic skills and learning strategies that will help them make the most of their time at our School and become independent and confident life-long learners. The Center for Academic Achievement is designed to recognize and enhance the potential of students with mild to moderate learning disabilities and/or ADHD and average to above average cognitive abilities. Students enrolled in the program are required to meet the current graduation requirements met by all students. Each student with a diagnosed learning difference (some of whom are identified after their arrival at SSM) receives a 504 accommodations plan describing his or her learning style, academic goals, and necessary accommodations. Students enrolled in the CAA receive individualized, concentrated instruction, which is specifically tailored to their diagnosed learning disability and their educational needs. Our fee-based program is staffed with qualified professionals, three with graduate degrees in relevant educational fields and one in the process of obtaining a graduate degree in special education.
