Applying to Private Schools: Step-by-Step


Search for Schools

Explore the SSAT network of private schools around the globe. The new SSAT School Search allows you to compare member schools by proximity, school characteristics or program offerings. Each listing provides a detailed profile of the school, current contact information and a link to the school's own website.

In addition, you may request more information from any member school by completing the online inquiry form.

The SSAT School Search requires your machine to have the Flash Player installed. If you do not have Flash, use the SSAT Member Information link below, or click this link to install Flash.

In addition to helping you find the school that's right for you, SSAT also provides additional information about all its members on the SSAT Member Information page. The link below gives you access to unique information such as a list of schools that use the SSAT online standard Application for Admission, a list of consultants and other non-school members, or simple lists of members by state or country.

SSAT Application Service

The standard Application for Admission to Independent Boarding and Day Schools has been designed to simplify the admission process for student applicants and the teachers who must complete recommendations. It was developed to make applying to independent schools easier and faster, and it is accepted by most SSAT member schools.
