Interviews are usually 30 minutes in length.  Each interview is followed by a private tour of our campus.  Please allot 60-90 minutes for your visit to Milken.  The final week to schedule an interview or tour is February 4-8, 2013.

Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE)

Consideration for admission is based upon a number of factors which include the application, the interview, standardized test scores, transcripts, and recommendations.  Applicants to Milken Community High School are required to take the Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE). Please complete and mail the ISEE Registration Form, listing Milken as a score recipient. Our school code is 054159. Registration may be completed on the Education Records Bureau’s (ERB’s) website, www.erbtest.org.  All applicants to Milken should take the ISEE on or before February 8, 2013.

For your convenience, the ISEE test will be offered at Milken on Sunday, January 13, 2013.  The deadline to register for the ISEE at Milken is December 23, 2012

Financial Aid Process

Milken is committed to providing financial aid to families who qualify.  Financial need, however, is not a factor in determining admission decisions.  All financial aid is held in the strictest confidence, and is "need blind." 

Admission Decision Committee

A committee comprised of school administrators and rabbis along with the entire admission team meets to review applications to both the middle school and upper school.  Consideration for admission is based upon a number of factors which include the application, the interview, standardized test scores, transcripts, and recommendations.
