Question: Can I Apply Online?
Paper applications are time-consuming. They take forever to fill out. Sometimes you just don't know if you are giving the information needed. If you make a mistake, it is difficult to correct it. It is a good thing that online applications are pretty much universal nowadays.
Answer: Yes! Most schools accept online applications for admissions. What a time-saver for busy parents and students. You can also request brochures and catalogs online.

Another very useful resource is the Online Application page on the SSAT site. SSAT has compiled listings of hundreds of private schools in the United States and Canada. You can search for schools by name or type or location. You will find tons of information at your fingertips there.

Tip: Many schools have admissions deadlines in early January. You will want to have all the preliminaries such as visiting the school and interviewing as well as the SSAT/ISSE done well in advance of the deadline. Having said that, some schools have rolling admissions.
