The Melrose School's admissions process is designed to help us determine those students who will prosper in the school's program and succeed academically. Application Form Student Interview and screening Kindergarten applicants take a kindergarten readiness test. Grades 1 - 8 have standardized testing.
All testing is administered by the school psychologist.
Testing is done at Melrose at a mutually convenient time. Each applicant in grades 1-8 spends two days with his or her prospective class. An applicant for kindergarten will visit with the kindergarten teacher, teacher's aide, and other applicants in a separate two-hour session. It also allows the child to become familiar with Melrose. Our goal in this is to assure the child's future success at Melrose.
