The Application
The Watkinson application consists of several parts. Follow the links below to visit or download these forms:
* If it is more convenient for your process, you may submit the Standard Application Online instead of Watkinson’s application form. There is no need to submit both. Watkinson’s application cannot be completed on a mobile phone.
We need two confidential teacher recommendations; a math recommendation is required for proper placement. If you are a teacher, please make sure you DOWNLOAD and SAVE this form before filling it out and sending it back to us… otherwise the form will return empty and all your hard work will be lost!
Applicants for grades 9–12 must register for and take the SSAT. If you have already taken the PSAT or SAT, these scores may be submitted instead. Our school code is 8050.

- Online application

- Two years of school records sent to Watkinson
- Two confidential teacher recommendations, including a math recommendation
