Cardigan Mountain School & Test Innovators

Cardigan Mountain School is one of many schools across the country that uses Test Innovators to help their students prepare for the next step in their educational careers. Cardigan Mountain recently shared the story of why they chose Test Innovators as the best partner to help their students achieve success on the SSAT.

Cardigan Mountain is a boarding and day school for boys in grades 6 through 9. Nestled next to a lake in the woods of western New Hampshire, Cardigan focuses on instilling compassion, integrity, respect, and courage in every aspect of their students’ education. When it comes to helping their students prepare for the next step in their educational careers, Cardigan ensures their students are ready for every part of the process, including standardized assessments such as the SSAT.

The Secondary School Admissions Test (SSAT) is used by many independent and private schools in the United States to evaluate candidates as part of their application process. The test includes questions and topics designed to assess students spanning multiple grade levels, which means it can be one of the most difficult standardized tests a student encounters. Because of this, preparation for the SSAT is an important part of the high school placement process.

Cardigan Mountain has worked with Test Innovators since 2017 to provide the highest quality SSAT practice tools to their students. Over the years, the partnership has grown as Cardigan and Test Innovators collaborated to  create the test prep program that best fits the needs of Cardigan’s students. 

Kristin LeRoy, Cardigan Mountain’s Assistant Director of Secondary School Counseling & SSAT Coordinator, says that through using the Test Innovators platform, her students “become familiar with the content, the format of the tests.” She adds that “success for some of our students is just gaining the confidence they need to take these tests and feel good that there are going to be no surprises.”
