Testing for elementary students includes both a math and English language assessment. In grades 6 -12 all new students we will use the SSAT (Secondary School Admission Test) which includes a math, language arts, and writing sample. In addition, for students whose native language is not English, Concordia will also take a language assessment. Testing students is used to determine student placement and if any additional services are required. It is the goal of Concordia entrance exams to determine the match between a particular student's needs and potential and Concordia’s resources and capabilities. The cost of testing is included in the application fee.
