Apply: Middle School
Grades Six through Eight
Gilman School welcomes applications to its Middle School. Our main entry point is the sixth grade, but we also invite applications for grades seven and eight.
After careful consideration of this year’s admissions cycle and the unique challenges it may present prospective students to complete the standardized testing portion of the process, we will not require the Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE) for the 2020-2021 admissions season. To ensure equity of process, we will measure aptitude through an in-house assessment.
When making decisions, our Admissions Committee places great emphasis on past and current grades, school recommendations, prior standardized testing, personal interviews, as well as ISEE test scores and/or in-house assessment results.
The following information is designed to help you through the admissions process. Please use this as a guide, but always feel free to email a member of our team if you have any questions.

As a result of COVID-19, we are currently reenvisioning the steps required to complete our admissions process.
