How to Apply to the Kiski School

The first step toward joining our vibrant and supportive community is submitting your application for admission. At Kiski, we get to know each applicant as an individual, and your application is the beginning of that relationship. This page provides an overview of the key components of your application and the key dates you need to follow.

1

Online Application

Use the Standard Application Online (SAO) to submit your application to Kiski.  The SAO system will allow you to submit application materials — including transcripts, recommendations, and student essays — all through one system.  This system is the only method for submitting an application to Kiski.

At Kiski, every application is read and reviewed with individual attention.

2

Interview

An interview is required as part of your application to Kiski. Interviews are conducted on campus, at locations where we hold admissions events, and through virtual connections. We recommend contacting the Admissions Office early in the process to schedule your interview.
3

Standardized Testing

If you choose to submit standardized testing scores with your application, please note that these tests will require additional fees. Fees and fee waivers for the SSAT and ISEE are managed through their respective agencies. Visit the SSAT website and the ISEE website for more information.
