After you submit your application, you will have access to the appointment calendar (available to view on September 8) to make three appointments — a virtual school tour with your parents and separate interviews for the applicant and her parents/guardians with a member of our Admissions team. If you wish, you may also choose to be contacted by the Admissions office to schedule these appointments. We strongly recommend that you attend the virtual school tour prior to the interviews.

A member of the Nightingale Admissions office will reach out to you to schedule. More information about scheduling the virtual assessments will be forthcoming.

Submit the student essay via the online application checklist.

Recommendations from your daughter's 2020-2021 math and English teachers are required for admission. Additionally, you are welcome to submit optional recommendations from your daughter's 2019-2020 math and English teachers, as well, due to the shift in learning environments throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. You will find the link for recommendation forms in the online application checklist.

Request that your daughter's current school send school records directly to Nightingale.
The school records request form will be available through the online application checklist.

Nightingale has suspended its requirement that all students applying to Upper School submit ISEE or SSAT scores during the 2020-21 admission cycle. At your own discretion, you may still submit the ISEE or SSAT for Classes IX-X for consideration. Official ISEE or SSAT score reports will be required only for those students who elect to submit standardized test scores as part of the admission process. Scores are valid from April 1 of the prior school year; i.e., for the 2021-2022 academic year, all tests must be taken after April 1, 2020. To ensure Nightingale receives official score reports, Nightingale's school codes are ISEE code: 333860 and SSAT code: 5340.

The events are an excellent opportunity for prospective parents/guardians to learn about Nightingale by asking questions and engaging in dialogue with key faculty, administration, students, and parents.
