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 9, 2012.

For your convenience, the ISEE test will be offered at Milken Community High School on Sunday January 8, 2012.  The deadline to register for the ISEE at Milken is December 18, 2011.

Financial Aid Process

Milken Community High School is committed to providing financial aid to families who qualify. The financial aid application process runs concurrent with the admission application process.  Financial need however, is not a factor in determining admission decisions.  All financial aid is held in the strictest confidence. The completed financial aid application must be returned to the School Registrar no later than February 15, 2012.  Please be advised that the Financial Aid Committee cannot consider your request until all required documents have been submitted.

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.
