Admission Testing

Due to the complications regarding the COVID-19 outbreak and the uncertainty regarding entrance exam dates in 2020, Garrison Forest is implementing a test-optional admissions policy, which means that we do not require students to share results of entrance exams if you have been unable to test.

If you do decide to take an entrance exam, test results should be sent directly to Garrison Forest by including our school code on the registration form. GFS code for the ISEE: 210580. GFS code for the SSAT: 3358
