Admission Test

While this test is regularly scheduled at St. Thomas More Academy, students may take the test elsewhere.  The results may be forwarded to St. Thomas More Academy.

Parents may check the test schedule and register students at the ISEE registration web page.  ERB also offers an on-line student guide to help students prepare for the test.

Currently, ERB’s fee for the test is $78 with pre-registration (walk-in registration is more costly).   

St. Thomas More Academy’s ERB number is 344656.
