Senior School Assessment

We are an academically selective school that also values a well-rounded education and strong commitment to its Waconian Values. Admission to the Senior School is based on performance in an Entrance Exam and an interview, as well as references from the pupil’s current school.

The Entrance Exam includes online assessments in Mathematics, English, Non-Verbal, and Verbal reasoning, plus a creative writing task. Candidates who perform well in the exam will be invited for an interview. This interview allows us to learn about the pupil’s character, interests and potential to contribute to the school community. Finally, we request references from the applicant’s Junior School, focusing on character and work ethic.

An invitation to interview does not guarantee a place; offers are made only after the interview stage is complete.
