Parent Questionnaire
The Parent Questionnaire is an opportunity to tell us more about what your family is looking for in a school community. Your answers also provide us with a deeper understanding of your child’s strengths and areas of interest. 

Student Writing Sample (Grades 4-8 Only)
A writing sample is required for students applying to Grades 4-8, and instructions for completion are detailed in Ravenna. 

Teacher Recommendations
Two current teacher recommendations are required. Please follow the steps in Ravenna to request the recommendation from your child’s teacher.

Current School Transcript
Please submit a transcript from your child’s current school detailing their academic progress and attendance history for at least two years. Forms and instructions for requesting a transcript are in Ravenna.

Testing Note
We do not require or consider WPPSI / WISC / SSAT / ISEE tests as part of the admissions process.

Parent Conversation (Optional)
The Parent Conversation is a one-on-one opportunity for you to ask questions about Sheridan, and for us to get to know your child and family. 

Student Meeting
Student meetings for applicants to Grades 2-8 are designed to be welcoming, informative, and low-stress. 

While we hope to hold in-person student visits this fall and winter, our plans depend on the status of COVID-19 in the local community and guidance from DC Health. We will share more information as it becomes available.

In accordance with AISGW Principles of Best Practice, admissions decisions for the 2022-2023 school year will be communicated to parents on Friday, March 4, 2022 after 4:00 pm.
