APPLICATION
Submit the admissions application, with the non-refundable $50 application fee. For applicants whose school search may be focused on Catholic schools with typically earlier notification dates, we offer an Early Application Process with a deadline of December 9, 2009. The Regular Application Process deadline is January 27, 2010 (dates refer to completion of the application process). Once Oak Knoll has received your application and fee, we will call you to schedule your visiting day.
VISITING DAY
Upper School applicants are required to spend the day visiting the grade to which they are applying. Visits are scheduled between November 1, 2009 and January 27, 2010. Applicants visit from 8:00 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. Lunch is provided.
Applicants will meet with the admissions director during their visit.
PARENT CONFERENCES
A parent conference is an important part of the admissions process. If possible, the half-hour parent conferences will be scheduled to coincide with your daughter’s testing or visit.
TESTING
Upper School applicants are required to take the ERB Independent School Entrance Examination (ISEE). The co-op and SSAT are not accepted. Oak Knoll offers the ISEE on campus November 21, 2009 and December 19, 2009. You may register through ERB by mail or phone, using the Oak Knoll school code 311430.

A Release of Records Form is required for all Upper School applicants and needs to be submitted directly from your daughter’s school to the admissions office. This will include three years of grades and previous standardized testing scores.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Current English and Math Teacher Recommendation Forms are required for all Upper School applicants and need to be submitted directly from your child’s teachers to the admissions office. Forms should not be completed earlier than November 1, 2009. All recommendations are confidential.
