Shadow at Nichols by attending a Viking Visit!

For Nichols Upper School applicants, a great way to experience student life is by attending a Viking Visit! These morning events are from 7:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Students will attend three classes, a student life activity, and have the opportunity to meet with student ambassadors and members of the Admission Office to learn more about Nichols School. Students will also be able to enjoy lunch in our Dining Hall.

2025-26 Viking Visit dates will be announced later this fall.

Admission Test Dates
All Upper School applicants are required to take the admission test. Once you submit your application, you will be able to register for one of the testing dates offered throughout the spring. Please note that advanced registration is necessary, and a completed application form is required before taking the test.
