Saint David's School: which admissions test?
ISEE
ISEE (grades 5-7) · Apply by Tuesday, December 1, 2026
Test by entering grade
| Grade 5 | ISEE |
| Grade 6 | ISEE |
| Grade 7 | 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.
Grades 5-6 take the ISEE Lower Level and grade 7 the Upper Level. No applications for grade 8.
“Applicants to Grades Five and Six take the Lower Level Exam; and applicants to Grade Seven take the Upper Level exam. Saint David's School does not accept ERB results for applicants to Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten, or Grade One.”
6 weeks to Saint David's School’s application deadline (Tuesday, December 1, 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.
