Step 3

Schedule the entrance test:

Preschool (PK2-PK4):

Students entering our PK2, PK3, and PK4 programs are not required to take an entrance test.

Grades JK & K:

Our youngest candidates enjoy activity sessions that assess cognitive, language, motor, and social skills. These sessions are scheduled on Saturdays. You will receive an appointment after your application is submitted. JK candidates must be 4 years old by August 31, and Kindergarten candidates must be 5 years old by August 31 to apply.

Grades 1-5:

Applicants take standardized tests in reading comprehension, math, and writing. This experience is scheduled during a school day and includes a brief tour and classroom visit. The admissions office will schedule the date after your application is received.

Grades 6-12:

Middle and Upper School applicants take the Secondary School Admissions Test (SSAT), which measures verbal and quantitative ability, reading comprehension, and writing skills. Applicants will interview with an admissions coordinator or teacher to share interests, talents, and goals. We recommend testing on a Flex test date, which includes an interview and tour.

Please contact the NSU University School Admissions Office by phone at 954-262-4506 or by email at uschooladmissions@nova.edu to request an access code for a specific test month in order to register your child for SSAT Flex testing on our campus. Our Flex tests are only open to applicants of NSU University School. Students who choose to test at another location must schedule the interview on a different day.
