- Placement assessments are required for grades 1-8. However, we believe that these assessments are only one measure of an applicant's potential future success. We also consider how well applicants build relationships and work with other students; how they integrate themselves into the classroom; family alignment with the school's mission; and social skills, including respect, maturity, responsibility and self-confidence.
