During the visit,  the homeroom teacher will administer a short assessment.

  • Additional Requirements

    WISC/WPPSI (optional): If your child has completed the WISC/WPPSI within the past 2 years, you can send those results to admission@saes.org.

We will give equal consideration to applications with or without WISC/WPPSI results.
