• Register for Testing

  All Upper School applicants (grades 9-12) must register to take the Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT).
  

  
  Students for whom English is not their first language are required to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) in addition to the SSAT. Please note that the SLEP test and TOEFL Junior test cannot substitute the requirement of the TOEFL.

   

  Register for these tests online by visiting the following sites:

  • SSAT 
  • TOEFL

  Please designate Dana Hall School as a recipient of the official score by using the following testing codes: SSAT-2728, TOEFL-7507.
  
  While standardized testing remains a requirement of the Dana Hall application process, we will remain adaptive and flexible, understanding that the pandemic may create challenges for students to register and take standardized tests. Please reach out to us (781-489-1331 or admission@danahall.org) if you have any questions or need assistance.
