How to Apply & Key Dates

The SF Day Application Process

This page will guide you through the application process for kindergarten, Lower School, and Middle School. To get started with your application, you will need to create an account on Ravenna by clicking the "Apply" button. The Ravenna portal will be your resource for all information and requirements during the admission season. Please note, there is a $100 fee per application.
