Admissions

Apply

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
Please reach out to us at admissions@sheridanschool.org if you have any questions.
