Schedule Family Conversation and Student Interview

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.

Testing

Please note that while we will take into consideration any standardized testing results provided (although it is not required) in the admissions review process, emphasis will be placed on academic transcripts, teacher and school recommendations, and the individual interview.

Submit Official Transcript and Confidential Teacher Letters of Recommendation

Transcripts, Graded Writing Sample, and Letters of Recommendation
The transcript release form and two teacher recommendation letter forms should be submitted to the applicant’s present school. Teacher recommendations must come from the student's math, English, or science teacher, and from the student’s teacher of choice. 
 
The forms, including the graded writing sample, can be submitted in Ravenna. If you experience any issues with uploading forms or files in Ravenna, you may instead send them to admissions@franklinjc.org.

Begin Application for Financial Aid

Financial aid will be granted on a need basis. Please contact financialaid@franklinjc.org with any questions.

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.
