Additionally, parents should use Ravenna to request and submit two Teacher Recommendation forms for the homeroom teachers who have taught the applicant during the current and past year.

• Decision Notification

  Decision letters will be available in each applicant's Ravenna account on February 28, 2025.

If an applicant accepts an offer of admission, his parents must return the signed enrollment contract by March 14. The School will make every effort to make financial aid awards simultaneously with offers of admission.
