Admissions

Apply

We have limited spaces available in some grades for the 2025-2026 school year. Please contact admissions@sheridanschool.org if you have questions about a post-deadline application.
Welcome! We are so excited that you are considering Sheridan School as a possible community for your student and family. 

The application portal for the 2026-2027 school year will open in early September 2026, and Open House events will begin in October 2026. Exact dates for visits will be posted soon. We can’t wait to welcome you to our newly renovated building!
Applying to Sheridan School is simple. We are one of the many independent schools that use Ravenna to manage the application process from inquiry through decision. 
Please begin the admission process by inquiring through Ravenna. From there, you can finish creating your account on Ravenna where you can register for an Open House, submit an application, and begin your journey. 

The steps of the admissions process are clearly explained in Ravenna. They vary by grade, but for most families, they will include: 
  • Requesting student evaluations (teacher recommendations) and records or transcripts from your child’s current school
  • Filling out a parent questionnaire (everyone) and student questionnaire (for middle schoolers) in Ravenna
  • Scheduling a visit to Sheridan for your child
