At Holton-Arms, the admissions process is guided by the School's mission to cultivate the unique potential of young women through "the education not only of the mind, but of the soul and spirit" (Jessie Moon Holton). We recognize that potential encompasses much more than high academic achievement, and we strive to learn about each applicant's interests, talents, and personal qualities that make her the unique individual she is. That is why we are excited about the Character Skills Snapshot - a new online assessment tool developed by the Enrollment Management Association. Although this assessment is not required, we strongly recommend that all of our applicants complete the Character Skills Snapshot, as we believe it will provide insight into areas of strengths that are not reflected in grades and test scores.

If Registered for SSAT: The Snapshot is free of charge and once you register for the SSAT, you will receive an email inviting your daughter to take The Snapshot. View registration process: SSAT testers

If Registered for ISEE: There is a $25 fee for The Snapshot. Please contact the Admissions Office for details. View registration process: Non-testers
