Placement Test Info

We are excited to help place your student in classes that will both challenge and inspire. Class placement is a multi-step process.

The first step requires your student to take a placement test. We require all full-time students to take an English test and a Math test. We host several opportunities for students to take the placement test in-person at Wheaton Academy.

• The Math test is a skill-based test that assesses proficiency. This test also informs Physics placement for freshmen and Science for transfers.
• The World Language test is an optional assessment for students who want to take Spanish II, French II, or higher. A student who has experience in Chinese will be assessed through an interview with our Chinese teacher.
