Admission Process

The goal of our admission process is to provide ample opportunity for you to become familiar with Burroughs and for us to get to know you and your family.

Start by spending some time with us and see what it's like going to Burroughs.

Burroughs uses the SSAT online application.

Burroughs will accept test scores from the SSAT or the ISEE.

We also require school records and personal recommendations.


John Burroughs School uses the Standard Application Online (SAO). To learn more about using the SAO and begin your application, click here.
