Santa Monica families choose Global Education Testing because we deliver what traditional providers cannot: immediate scheduling with guaranteed 10-day lead times and complete psychoeducational evaluations within 7 days. While other practitioners juggle public school contracts and maintain crushing waiting lists, we focus exclusively on private school students who deserve premium service matching their educational investment. We work extensively with families from Crossroads School, New Roads School, and other distinguished Santa Monica institutions, plus students attending nearby elite schools like Brentwood School and Harvard-Westlake, many of whom are targeting admission to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Oxford, Cambridge, and other world-renowned institutions.
Our Santa Monica psychoeducational assessments go far beyond identifying learning differences like dyslexia, ADHD, or processing disorders. We collaborate with families to align every recommendation with their student’s unique ambitions—whether that’s Harvard pre-med, Yale law, Oxford PPE, Cambridge natural sciences, Stanford engineering, or international programs at universities like McGill, University of Toronto, or Australian Group of Eight institutions. This collaborative approach transforms standard psychological testing into strategic educational planning for global academic success.
For Santa Monica students pursuing international study, our assessments provide crucial documentation for accommodation requests on specialized exams including A-Levels, International Baccalaureate, and university-specific entrance tests required by European and Commonwealth institutions. We understand the complex accommodation procedures for international testing bodies and provide the clinical evidence necessary to secure extended time and specialized conditions for students competing for spots at the world’s most selective universities.
Understanding the privacy expectations of Santa Monica’s high-profile residents, we maintain complete confidentiality throughout our assessment process. No public school reporting, no database entries, no institutional connections—just discrete, professional service that respects your family’s need for privacy while delivering comprehensive insights about your child’s learning profile. This discretion proves particularly valuable for families in entertainment, technology, and other high-visibility industries who require absolute confidentiality regarding their children’s educational assessments.
Santa Monica students face unique pressures balancing academic excellence with the creative opportunities their coastal location provides, while simultaneously preparing for admission to institutions like Harvard, Stanford, Oxford, or top international programs. Our psychoeducational assessments identify not just learning challenges but creative strengths and non-traditional talents that may flourish in Santa Monica’s arts-friendly environment while ensuring students receive necessary accommodations for both traditional academic success and the specialized requirements of international university applications. Whether your child dreams of studying at Cambridge, pursuing graduate work at Harvard, or attending prestigious international institutions, our comprehensive evaluations provide the strategic insights and documentation necessary to transform those ambitions into acceptances.

Exclusive Services for Private School Learners
At Global Education Testing Santa Monica, we specialize exclusively in psychoeducational evaluations for students in Santa Monica’s private and homeschool systems. We do not provide services to families enrolled in the public school system, nor do we handle Section 504 or IDEA-based cases.

“Santa Monica’s public education system has strong protections—but private school families are often left to navigate learning difficulties on their own. At Global Education Testing, we exist to bridge that gap and ensure no child is left unsupported simply because they attend a private school.” — Alexander Bentley-Sutherland, CEO, Global Education Testing.
That’s why many of Santa Monica’s top private schools and families applying for competitive programs like the SAT, ACT, LSAT, and Ivy League admissions choose psychoeducational evaluations conducted by licensed psychologists with formal credentials recognised in California and across the United States.
At Global Education Testing California, all assessments are carried out by California-licensed Educational Psychologists (LEPs) or Licensed Clinical Psychologists, using gold-standard tools such as the WISC-V, WIAT-III, and DSM-5 diagnostic criteria. Reports and diagnoses are Gold-Standard and both meet and exceed the documentation standards required by U.S. exam boards, admissions committees, and international institutions.
All psychoeducational evaluations conducted through Global Education Testing Santa Monica are delivered by professionals who are fully licensed to practice in the state of California and are authorized to provide formal diagnoses for learning differences, ADHD, and related conditions.

The total fee for a full psychoeducational assessment in Santa Monica is USD 4,950 per student. This includes:
Step 1: Intake and Background
After booking, we’ll send you a secure intake form to complete. This includes consent, background information, and any previous reports. We may also request teacher input. All information is handled confidentially and stored on our encrypted, HIPAA-compliant platform.
Step 2: Pre-Assessment Interview
We arrange a deep dive Zoom call (approx. 50 minutes) with you as the parent and our Psychologist to discuss your concerns, clarify background information, and ensure we understand your goals for the assessment. Your child is not present for this stage.
Step 3: Testing Session
Testing typically takes place online over one day, lasting approximately 4 to 5 hours with breaks. For children aged 11 and under, we usually recommend splitting testing over two consecutive days (2 hours per session) to maintain concentration.
The psychologist works one-on-one with your child via a secure video platform. Most tasks are screen-based, with some verbal and paper-based activities. For younger children or certain subtests (e.g., symbol recognition, visual-motor tasks), we’ll send materials in advance by email or courier with instructions for how to prepare. A parent or trusted adult can be nearby throughout for safeguarding purposes but does not participate in the session.
Step 4: Report Writing
Within 7 days of testing (the fastest turnaround time in Santa Monica), you’ll receive a full written diagnostic report. This includes:
Step 5: Follow-Up and Clarification
After receiving the report, we offer a follow-up meeting to answer any questions, discuss findings, and support implementation. If your child’s school in Santa Monica needs a version tailored to their internal protocols or exam access team, we can adjust language or formatting accordingly. Our Santa Monica Educational Psychologists are available for any follow up therapy that may be required, or you are free to choose your own local therapeutic intervention in Santa Monica.

Santa Monica’s private school families recognize that excellence requires both grit and strategy. At Global Education Testing, we provide psychoeducational evaluations specifically calibrated to the distinctive educational landscape of Santa Monica’s prestigious private academies, and the area’s influential homeschool community.
Our assessments do more than identify learning differences—they create tactical advantage by securing vital accommodations, optimizing college preparation, and removing invisible barriers that prevent high-performing Santa Monica students from demonstrating their true capabilities.
Our assessments also provide a deep formal diagnosis of learning difficulties, including dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, ADHD, and processing disorders. Each evaluation includes a comprehensive cognitive profile, academic achievement testing, and detailed recommendations for accommodations, classroom strategies, and exam access arrangements, ensuring that your child receives the support they need both now and in the future.
What distinguishes Global Education Testing Santa Monica isn’t merely our clinical expertise—it’s our strategic vision. Every educational psychology evaluation we conduct is precisely aligned with the requirements of selective universities, high-stakes standardized tests, and the unique academic cultures of Santa Monica’s private educational institutions and Universities throughout the USA and abroad.
Our comprehensive reports meet the exacting standards of the College Board, ACT, AP programs, and disability services offices at universities throughout California and nationwide. We utilize gold-standard assessment instruments including the WISC-V, WAIS-IV, and academic batteries that far exceed the scope of typical school screening that usually takes place in Santa Monica.
We deliver results with characteristic Santa Monica efficiency—typically within 7 business days—and present findings in a format that empowers families, schools and admissions officers to implement accommodations without delay. This isn’t routine testing. It’s precision assessment for families who understand that the gap between capability and performance often isn’t about ability—but about recognition and documentation.
Families in Santa Monica engage our services not from desperation, but from determination. They observe their child investing excessive effort to maintain academic standing. They notice frustration replacing confidence. They hear patterns in teacher feedback like “bright student, but inconsistent work” and seek to understand the underlying causes. Our thorough psychoeducational evaluations provide clarity; delivered with the professionalism and discretion that Santa Monica families expect.
For many exceptionally bright students in Santa Monica’s private and independent schools, the difference between good and exceptional performance often hinges on factors like processing speed, test anxiety, or undiagnosed learning differences that quietly impact exam outcomes.
With properly documented accommodations (especially extra time) students can move from underperforming to overachieving, capitalizing on their strengths while reducing the barriers created by processing or attention-based challenges.
Santa Monica sits at the intersection of academic ambition and global opportunity. Its students routinely aim for the nation’s top-tier universities, but too often, bright learners are held back by unrecognised cognitive differences. A comprehensive psychoeducational evaluation from Global Education Testing provides a precise, data driven foundation that helps students perform at their true potential.
Educational psychology testing in Santa Monica is more than a diagnostic tool; it’s a strategic advantage. At Global Education Testing, we specialize in identifying learning barriers, revealing intellectual strengths, and generating high-impact reports that lead to meaningful academic support.
Give your child the opportunity to succeed not just in the classroom, but in the wider world. With Global Education Testing, academic excellence becomes the expected outcome—not the exception.

Global Education Testing Santa Monica offers premier Dyslexia testing, providing private school families with world-class educational assessments that uncover hidden reading and processing challenges. Our assessments highlight specific areas including reading fluency, comprehension, and orthographic processing, while delivering internationally recognized reports that secure vital accommodations such as extra time in examinations.

Global Education Testing provides specialized Dyscalculia testing in Santa Monica, addressing challenges related to mathematical reasoning, number sense, and quantitative problem-solving. Our assessments deliver internationally recognized documentation that enables Private School students in Santa Monica to secure examination benefits including extra time and use of calculators where appropriate.

Global Education Testing offers comprehensive Anxiety Testing in Santa Monica, addressing the increasingly significant impact of anxiety on academic performance. Our assessments provide clear diagnosis and strategies, including securing accommodations that reduce stress and enhance performance. Our assessments empower Private School students to showcase their true abilities.

Undiagnosed ADHD can prevent even the most intelligent students from reaching their potential in Santa Monica’s structured educational systems. Our comprehensive assessments uncover specific difficulties with focus, time management, and classroom engagement, offering tailored solutions to enhance academic performance. By securing essential examination accommodations such as extra time, separate rooms, and supervised breaks, we ensure that students can demonstrate their true abilities.

At Global Education Testing, we provide in-depth assessments for dysgraphia in Santa Monica, helping students who struggle with handwriting, spelling, and organizing their written thoughts. In a city where academic standards are high and written work remains a key part of assessment, difficulties like these undermine a student’s performance and self-confidence if left unrecognized. Our Santa Monica assessments pinpoint the specific challenges each student faces to support applications for exam accommodations.

Global Education Testing Santa Monica delivers comprehensive SEN assessments, supporting Private School students across the full range of Special Educational Needs. Whether a child is facing specific learning differences like dyslexia or dysgraphia, or broader challenges such as ADHD or anxiety, our evaluations are designed to identify the underlying issues that may be affecting academic progress. Early and accurate identification is key to unlocking the right support.
Extra time and other accommodations aren’t just for students who struggle, they’re strategic tools for ambitious learners aiming to perform at their full potential. Even high-achieving students in Santa Monica’s private schools benefit enormously from the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities under optimized exam conditions.
Private Education in Santa Monica provides access to world-class academic pathways, but in competitive international school environments, future success often comes down to exam performance. Whether pursuing the IB Diploma, Cambridge IGCSEs and A-Levels, the American curriculum with AP and SATs, or preparing for specialist entrance exams like the MAT, STEP, or TSA, the pressure is intense. Without proper support, undiagnosed learning difficulties can quietly undermine a student’s chances; not because they lack ability, but because they haven’t had the chance to work under fair testing conditions.
Many private school students in Santa Monica become adept at masking their challenges, developing coping mechanisms that get them through day-to-day learning. But these strategies often fall short under exam pressure. Accommodations like 50% (or more) extra time can be the key to unlocking top tier results, and with them, admission to competitive universities across the United States, Australia, Europe, the UK, and beyond.
Following our comprehensive educational psychology assessments, families in Santa Monica receive a detailed multi-page diagnostic report that provides deep insight into their child’s unique learning profile. This comprehensive document identifies any diagnosed learning challenges, such as Dyslexia, ADHD, Anxiety, or other Special Educational Needs (SEN), and provides tailored recommendations for accommodations in examinations across both US and international curricula.
At Global Education Testing Santa Monica, we understand the extraordinary pressure faced by students in this competitive academic environment. That’s why our approach extends beyond simple diagnosis to provide parents with strategic advantages through actionable insights and globally recognized recommendations that enable their children to excel academically and reach their full potential.
Whether your family is targeting California’s prestigious international schools or elite universities in Europe and abroad, our assessments prepare students to meet these challenges with confidence.
Confidentiality and privacy are fundamental to our practice. Parents in Santa Monica maintain complete control over how and when their child’s results are shared, and in an area where academic excellence is paramount, our comprehensive assessments provide the tools to help every student achieve their highest ambitions.
