Erie Day School is proud to continue its role as an official testing site for the Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT), a trusted measure for private school admissions since 1957.
The SSAT is widely recognized as the gold standard for evaluating prospective students’ academic skills in reading, verbal reasoning, and quantitative reasoning. By offering this assessment locally for many years, Erie Day School has ensured that its own students—who frequently take the exam as part of their secondary school admissions process—can complete the test conveniently on familiar ground.
“At Erie Day School, we want to remove as many barriers as possible for our students as they take their next educational steps,” said Mr. Donald Fuller, Head of School. “Continuing as an SSAT testing site not only supports our students but also provides an accessible option for families across the Erie community.”
Upcoming testing dates at Erie Day School are Saturday, November 15, 2025; Saturday, December 13, 2025; and Saturday, January 31, 2026.
Families interested in learning more about SSAT registration or upcoming test dates at Erie Day School can visit www.ssat.org.
