Kehillah students applying for the 2024-2025 academic year are not required to submit standardized test scores. That said, Kehillah accepts results from standardized exams (like the SSAT or ISEE) OR the Character Skills Snapshot, which measures student preferences, attitudes, and beliefs toward intellectual, intrapersonal, and interpersonal character skills. 

Through Kehillah’s holistic admissions process, we hope to learn as much as we can about each student’s personal and academic journey and to understand each of their interests, dreams, and needs. The most powerful and important parts of the application are the self-portraits that students offer in their personal statements and the stories that parents, teachers, and others share over the course of the admissions process.
