Through Ravenna, you will be able to start the application process, register for Open House and Virtual Info Session, email teacher recommendation forms directly to your students’ teachers, submit all admissions materials, check the status of your application, and receive admissions decisions.
When/if appropriate, both parents should use two (2) unique email addresses on the application in Ravenna, one for each parent/guardian.
Discover Franklin by joining us at an open house. We invite you to learn more about our programs and meet with our welcoming faculty and our Student Ambassadors.
Every Franklin School applicant must schedule a student interview and parent conversation with our Director of Admissions. This event is about an hour long and prospective families can ask questions and tour the school. All interviews will be conducted at Franklin School unless noted otherwise and appointments can be reserved directly in Ravenna after the application is submitted.
Applicants must submit two teacher recommendation forms via Ravenna.
Submit one Teacher Recommendation form to the applicant's current core subject teacher (English, Math, Science)
Submit one Teacher Recommendation form to a teacher of the applicant’s choice (this recommendation can be from an adult who taught the applicant in any extracurricular activity)
For the Early Decision option, we will accept recommendations from teachers from the previous year.
Candidates who choose to apply for Early Decision and subsequently receive an admission offer from Franklin are expected to notify the school of their decision by December 5, 2023. Early Decision applicants are permitted to submit applications to other educational institutions; however, if they are admitted to and decide to enroll at Franklin through the Early Decision program, they must withdraw their applications from other schools and refrain from initiating any new applications elsewhere.
Early Decision applicants are not obligated to accept Franklin’s offer of admission. If the applicant accepts the offer, we do ask that you withdraw all applications to other schools as you committed to Franklin. If the applicant declines the offer, the applicant will not be considered during the Regular Decision process.
We offer Early Decision as per community requests to offer prospective families an Early Decision option if the applicant and the applicant’s family are confident that Franklin is the right choice. You will know if you’ve been accepted to your first choice school in December and if admitted you can be done with your admission process. Admitted students then will be invited to attend our Early Decision Admitted Students on November 30th and to start preparing for your transition into our Franklin community.
We were hesitant at first to change schools, especially to one just being launched, but our questions were always answered directly and thoroughly. With the school year now well underway, our Franklin experience has been very, very good.
Not only does our son enjoy his classmates and teachers, he also enjoys talking about his classes and work. It is very gratifying to see his level of interest in the course work and curriculum. We're very happy we became a part of the Franklin community.
