After forms have been completed and returned, visiting days will be scheduled for the prospective student. Forms should be mailed by the current school or teacher. Parents or students should not hand-carry these forms to The Westwood School.

 

Students applying for grades 7 and up: Register for ISEE or submit your most recent SSAT, ITBS, CAT or Stanford 10 test results. (See above for additional requirements.)

 

*Optional items Kindergarten and up: Feel free to send a sample of the student's writing or artwork, a school project, recommendations from additional teachers, or any other items that would represent the student more fully to the Admission Committee. We apologize that these items cannot be returned.
