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.
We are test-optional for 2024-25 academic year, however, applicants are welcome to submit their ISEE or SSAT scores.

F-1 Student Visas
While Franklin School in Jersey City is proud to be an international community, we are a day school and do not provide boarding or allow homestays for international students. All international students must be living with immediate family members while attending Franklin. All family guardians undergo an interview and screening process. Franklin is an SEVP-certified school. If your child requires a Form I-20, they must be enrolled and the tuition deposit must be paid before a Form I-20 is issued.

The admissions process was excellent, I felt so comfortable in the interview with Ms. Stravoiu and Mr. Campbell. I felt like my true identity, my true self could really come out. I got the impression that at Franklin I would be supported and it would be a place where I could feel at home for the next four years.
