Standardized tests, textbook tests, and teacher-made tests are administered to students throughout the year. These assessments require students to synthesize information, apply what they have learned and demonstrate their understanding of what has been taught.

Readiness Tests
Students entering kindergarten are administered the Bergance test to determine if they meet common expectations for children their age. At the end of the year they take a readiness test to determine their readiness for first grade.

Terra Nova Tests
Students in grades 2-8 are administered a battery of standardized tests to measure progress from one year to another. A component of the program is an aptitude test that helps to define the ability of a student in relationship to the results on the achievement tests. To help the testing to reflect the best that your children can do, please see that they get adequate rest the week of the tests. If a child should be absent due to illness, every attempt will be made to enable the child to make up the tests. However, since the tests must be mailed on the last scheduled test day, make-up testing often necessitates taking more tests daily than is ideal. To prevent this, we ask that you do not schedule trips or appointments during the time of standardized testing.
