Admission Requirements Each applicant for admission must take entrance examinations to determine level of intelligence and academic grade level in reading vocabulary and comprehension, English grammar and spelling, and mathematical reasoning and fundamentals. The president or director of instruction interviews each boy who qualifies on the examinations, as well as his parents, before a decision is made on admission. Although demonstration of superior intelligence and academic accomplishment is required for admission, an applicant is not rejected solely because of previous scholastic performance. At the same time, records from previous schools are carefully reviewed for information concerning the applicant's capabilities and inclinations. The School has no church affiliation and no religious requirements for admission; different church affiliations among students seem to have approximately the same ratio as the Birmingham area. Director of Instruction interviews applicant and mother. A [ 3 ]
