George Jackson Academy: which admissions test?
No ISEE/SSAT required
No ISEE/SSAT required (grades 6-7) · Apply by Saturday, December 12, 2026
Test by entering grade
| Grade 6 | No ISEE/SSAT required |
| Grade 7 | No ISEE/SSAT required |
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.
GJA gives its own test (the OLSAT) and accepts a recent ISEE or SSAT in its place.
“GJA administers the Otis-Lennon School Ability Test (OLSAT) to identify students who may be a good fit for our rigorous academic program. ... In lieu of the OLSAT, GJA will accept recent SSAT or ISEE results.”
Application deadline
Saturday, December 12, 2026 Rolling admission continues until seats are filled.
