It’s time to register your son to take the Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE). As discussed in our back-to-school parent meeting, we will be preparing the boys to take the exam in early December and giving the exam at school on Thursday, December 3. Any student planning to attend an independent school in 7th grade must take the ISEE. In the weeks leading up to the exam, we will communicate additional information regarding the format of the test and what your son can expect on the day of the exam. 

To register for the exam, please click here. You must first create a parent account and add your student. You will need to click on the EVENT/WALK-IN CODE SEARCH section to enter the required event code. The event code is 5BSX7EGC.

You will be asked to list schools you wish to receive the scores. In addition to the schools you are considering for 7th grade, please list PDS. Our school code is 432521. 

If your son qualifies for accommodations on the exam, you will receive a separate email today from Lindsey Robinson, Director of Academic Support, containing additional instructions and paperwork needed to register. You will need this paperwork in order to register for the exam.

If you plan for your son to attend a school that does not require the ISEE exam, you do not have to sign up to take this test. Please communicate this information to me. Your son will have alternate school work on this exam day.

Additionally, if you have already signed up to take the ISEE on another date, please reach out to me. I can contact ISEE to have your test date changed so you can avoid the change fee.

If you have any trouble registering for the exam, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Sincerely,

Laura Glenn
