The Character Skills Snapshot is an innovative online tool that measures students' preferences toward seven character skills. Taken at home in approximately 25 minutes, it provides a richer, holistic view of your student. The Snapshot measures a student's preferences, attitudes, and beliefs about their character and is meant to complement more traditional cognitive assessments such as The SSAT.
The Character Skills Snapshot is included when you register for The SSAT.
The Standard Application Online (SAO) simplifies the process for families applying to private schools. Students can submit their information, essays, transcripts, and recommendations once to any school that accepts it.
