Entrance Examination

Carrollton School of the Sacred Heart requires the Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE) or the Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT). As articulated in our Goals and Criteria, Schools of the Sacred Heart commit themselves to educate to a deep respect for intellectual values. Carrollton has always based admissions decisions on a comprehensive and holistic evaluation of each applicant, not only considering the entrance exam, but also evaluating all of our requirements for admissions such as the interview of the applicant and her parents, the student writing sample, school recommendations, and transcripts. You may take the exam at any of the locations that the exam is offered but strongly suggest those applying to Grades 4 & 5 to take it on campus.
