Applying to McCallie: Day

The interview gives us a chance for us to get to know your son and for him to ask questions about McCallie.  It is more of a casual conversation than a formal interview. You can include your son’s interview during a family visit to campus, or we can schedule a time to talk virtually. Contact the admission office admission@mccallie.org / 423-493-5631 to schedule. You may schedule a campus or virtual meeting before you apply. 

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. . 

Using the application portal, electronically send recommendation forms to your son's current English & math teachers. Recommendation forms will be available to send beginning Nov. 1, 2020.

Middle school applicants: Upload transcripts for the previous year and current year report card for fall semester  in the application portal. 

Upper school applicants: Upload transcripts for your previous two years of school and current year report card for fall semester. 

 In addition, send the school report form to the principal or counselor at your current school. School report forms will be made available on Nov. 1. 

This is the applicant’s opportunity to be creative and tell us about himself.  He will  use the form in the application portal, upload a short video or write an essay detailing his interests and why he sees himself at McCallie.

McCallie requires applicants to take the Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT), and we are scheduled to host the SSAT on December 12. Students will test in small groups in socially distant classrooms and be required to follow McCallie's Covid-19 health and safety protocols for the date of the test. Please visit ssat.org for information about scheduling, preparation, and new details on how to take the test at home for those who cannot make it to campus. Be sure to share your score report with us using our school code 4744.
