How to Apply

Create an account through Ravenna  to register for events like a virtual Information Session, on campus Tour, and Student Visits and to access Sterne School’s admissions application. 

Submit an application and application fee through Ravenna.

*To be considered for a reduced or waived application fee, please contact us at admissions@sterneschool.org. 
 

The student visit is an opportunity for your child to spend time on campus, visit classes, meet teachers, and get to know other Sterne students. Parents can schedule the Student Visit day in Ravenna once the application is submitted. 

Applicants for grades 4-8 will complete a math, reading and comprehension assessment in our Admissions Office during their visit.

Get to know more about Sterne and tell us more about yourself! Applicants for grades 9-12 will have an interview with a high school teacher during their visit day. 

Interviews typically range from 30-45 minutes and are an opportunity for the Admissions Staff to learn more about your child and for you to ask questions.

Important notes on how forms are submitted:

• Transcript Release Forms are delegated to your child’s school and the school registrar will electronically submit documents through Ravenna.

*Please give the teachers plenty of time to complete these recommendations before the application deadline.
