Applying to McCallie: Boarding

To apply for the 2021-2022 school year, go to our online application portal, create an account, and submit an application. Once you submit your application, you will have access to the other required forms through the application portal. McCallie also accepts the SSAT Standard Application Online (SAO).

If you are interested in applying for the 2020-2021 school year, please contact the admissions office for more information. 

The interview is a chance for us to get to know you, and for you to ask questions. It is more of a casual conversation than a formal interview. Most campus visits include an interview, and interviews can also be arranged by video conference if you are unable to visit us. Contact the admission office (admission@mccallie.org) or your admission counselor for interview options.  

Using the application portal, electronically send recommendation forms to your current English & math teachers. These forms will become available on Nov. 1. 

Upload transcripts or report cards for your three most recent years of school (including this year) in the application portal. In addition, send the School Report form to the principal or counselor at your current school. School report forms will become available on Nov. 1. 

This is your opportunity to be creative and tell us about yourself. Through the form in the application portal, upload a short video or write an essay detailing your interests and why you see yourself McCallie. This form will be available once you complete the application. 

McCallie requires applicants to take the Secondary School Admission Test [SSAT]. For information about taking the SSAT, including how to take it at home, please visit ssat.org. Be sure to share your score report with us using our school code 4744. Alternative forms of testing may be considered for older applicants.
