Our enrollment process is designed to be easy, accessible, and transparent. We want you to spend as much time as you need getting to know our school and asking questions about our academics, co-curriculars, student life, and service learning. That’s why we offer opportunities to view our campus, chat with students and teachers, and even sit in on classes.
We have many ways for you to get a feel for our school. Whether you attend an outdoor tour, sit in on a class during our online shadow program or attend our virtual open house, you’ll get a better sense of who we are and whether you belong here.
Ready to apply? It’s easy to get started. An online application portal, Ravenna, keeps all your application materials—including transcripts, standardized test scores, and letters of recommendation—in one convenient place.
