Testing Policy: For the 2025-2026 application cycle, Canterbury strongly encourages domestic applicants to submit standardized testing scores. Standardized testing for the admission process depends on the grade you are applying to:
Grade 9, 10 (Third or Fourth Form): SSAT
Grade 11 (Fifth Form): PSAT, SAT, ACT, or SSAT
Postgraduate (PG): SAT or ACT
The preferred time to schedule a standardized test is on the November or December dates. We encourage you to register for a test as soon as possible since registration deadlines come well in advance of the test administration dates.
When registering for the SSAT, please use Canterbury’s school code (2050) to ensure the results will be sent directly to our Admission Office.
International Applicants
All international applicants are required to submit standardized test scores as listed above. In addition, non-native English-speaking applicants are required to submit scores from one of the following tests:
TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) using Canterbury’s school code: 7219
Duolingo (a school code is not required)
Minimum Required Scores:
TOEFL: Minimum score of 90
Duolingo: Minimum score of 120
The minimum score requirements apply to students applying for the Third and Fourth Forms. Applicants to the Fifth Form and Postgraduate program are expected to exceed these scores.
The TOEFL or Duolingo test is not required for applicants who have attended a school where English is the primary mode of instruction for three years or more.
