Garrison Forest is proud to be test optional, which means that we do not require students to share results of entrance exams. Choosing to send or not sent standardized test scores will have no bearing on a student's application. 

If you do decide to take an entrance exam, either the Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE) or Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT) is available for all applicants in grades 5-12.

• SSAT results should be sent directly to Garrison Forest by including our school code 3358 on the registration form at www.ssat.org. We are also accepting the SSAT Character Skills Snapshot. 
• ISEE results can be sent via email to admission@gfs.org when they are received by the student's family or school. You may register for the ISEE on the web at www.iseetest.org. 

We will announce day student decisions for all complete applicants on February 14, 2024. Boarding decisions will be announced on March 8, 2024. Decisions will be released electronically. 

Feel free to contact a member of the Admission Team after decisions are announced with any questions.
