Admission FAQs

All application materials must be submitted through our Ravenna account by January 10 for Lower Division and February 1 for Upper Division for admission the following fall. It is highly recommended that you begin the application process as early as October. Although the majority of our openings are filled by candidates who follow this traditional admissions calendar, we invite families to inquire for entrance to all grades throughout the spring and summer.

We enroll students for two sections of 14 in PreK and grow to four sections of 14-15 in Kindergarten. We typically grow to 60 students in Grades 1-4, and we have flexibility to admit additional students in Grade 6-8.
