Unlike many private schools, the initial step of the school's process is a meeting with the applicant and his/her parents to determine the suitability of the school. The meeting is cooperative in nature. It explores your child’s academic goals, personality, and compatibility with Metro Prep.
If, after the interview, it appears that your child may be a prospective Metro Prep student, the process moves forward:
Grades 7-9: Students are required to complete our entrance examination (optional for students who have completed the SSAT). This 2.5 hour test is designed to identify the child’s abilities in mathematics, vocabulary, spelling, grammar, and reading comprehension (the test is diagnostic in purpose – your child will never be reduced to a score at Metro Prep).
Grades 10, 11 & 12: Students are admitted based on submission of current academic records.
