Does The Branson School accept standardized test results?

No. The Branson School has adopted a test-free policy. This means they do not require or accept standardized test scores (like the SSAT, ISEE, SAT, or ACT) as part of the application process.

Instead of focusing on test scores, Branson heavily emphasizes a holistic review of each applicant. They will assess your child’s academic achievements, personal character, and how they present themselves in other parts of the application, such as the interview, essays, and teacher recommendations. This shift allows the admissions committee to get a more complete and authentic picture of who your child is beyond the numbers.
