We're excited to get to know your student!

Attending a workshop is a required step in the application process. It helps the applicant to get a feel for our school and for us to see them in a peer group setting.

During the Workshop, the applicant will spend time engaging in various activities with our current teachers and staff. Parents will meet will the Head of School for the parent component.

Sign-ups are available in Ravenna after the application is submitted.

The goal of the interview is for the admission team and applicant parent(s)/guardians to get to know each other better. It is an informal conversation with an opportunity to share more about your student as well as to ask questions. This is a parents/guardian meeting and is a required step to complete the application. Please allow 30 minutes for this meeting. Note that some interview slots are for a Zoom meeting and some are offered in person at Helios School. 

If two parents share guardianship of the child, both are required to attend the interview. 

Sign-up are available in Ravenna after the application is submitted.
