Horace Mann School: which admissions test?
ISEE
ISEE (grades 6-11) · Apply by Wednesday, November 18, 2026
Test by entering grade
| Grade 6 | ISEE |
| Grade 7 | ISEE |
| Grade 8 | ISEE |
| Grade 9 | ISEE |
| Grade 10 | ISEE |
| Grade 11 | 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.
The page asks for the ISEE; students also applying to boarding schools may submit the SSAT instead.
“Go to iseetest.org to schedule the exam. Students who are also considering boarding schools may submit the SSAT exam instead.”
4 weeks to Horace Mann School’s application deadline (Wednesday, November 18, 2026)
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.
