The Buckley School: which admissions test?
ISEE
ISEE (grades 5-8) · Apply by Friday, January 8, 2027
Test by entering grade
| Grade 5 | ISEE |
| Grade 6 | ISEE |
| Grade 7 | ISEE |
| Grade 8 | ISEE |
A grade missing from the table has no rule on the school’s page, often because the school does not admit new students into it.
“Classes V and above: We require the ISEE (Independent School Entrance Exam) administered by ERB (Educational Records Bureau).”
11 weeks to The Buckley School’s application deadline (Friday, January 8, 2027)
ISEE prep: a diagnostic this week, then a prep plan to test day. The diagnostic ($150, one-time, 1.5 hours) shows where your child stands on the ISEE and which sections cost the most points. You leave with a written plan: the sessions it calls for, dated up to your child’s test day. Sessions are $125 each, paid one at a time, no package.
Deadline read on the school’s own admissions site. Leave your details just below.
