It is unusual for the school to have an opening for a new senior. A visit to the Cate campus when school is in session is a required part of the admission process. Candidates are interviewed by an admission officer or one of our faculty members who serves on the Admission Committee. Student guides show candidates and parents around the campus and answer any questions they may have about Cate. We offer three payment options for the yearly tuition.
Enrollment is for the entire year only.
The SSAT is administered at test centers throughout the United States and in most foreign countries during the months of November, December, January, February, March, April, and June. In order for candidates to make the application deadline of February 1, we strongly recommend that applicants take the test in November, December, or January. Because Cate does not offer English as a Second Language, all candidates must be fluent in English. Personal interviews should be scheduled and applications should be filed with the Admission Office in the fall or early winter. Priority is given to those candidates who complete the application procedure, including the personal interview, by January 23.
