Selection Considerations
  • Entrance test results and previous school records should indicate that the applicant has a potential to benefit from the academic program offered by StoneBridge School.
  • The attitude of the student is an important factor.  Does the applicant want to attend StoneBridge School?
  • The criteria for admitting any new child begins with the family:
  1. Are the parents in agreement with the Philosophy, goals, Ethos and Statement of Faith of StoneBridge School?  (these can be found on the school's website.)
  2. Do the parents uphold the spirit and principles of a Christian home?
  3. Are the parents committed to working with the school and teacher in accomplishing Biblical, spiritual, and educational goals for their child(ren)?
  4. Does the student display evidence of Christian self-government adequate to properly function in a StoneBridge classroom?

Testing & Conference
Testing Session: The 1.5 hour testing session for kindergarten applicants recreates the classroom to provide an opportunity for observation and administering readiness tests and an individual vocabulary test.  The testing session for first through twelfth grade applicants lasts at least 2 to 3 hours and presents a battery pf standard achievement tests, observations, and informal tests.  A "Learning Profile" is then prepared, summarizing and interpreting the test results.  A Testing Review Conference with the Administrator is for the purpose of examining and explaining the written learning profile.
