On December 15, 2021, school leadership announced a vaccine requirement for all current eligible students by February 21, 2022. This decision was made primarily in response to the overall status of the pandemic, the proven safety of the vaccines, and evidence that vaccination is the most effective mitigation strategy currently available to us. In addition, the emergence of the Omicron and other possible variants is a reason to do everything we can to protect our school community as well as our wider local community. Many of our peer schools have made this same decision.

Exemptions will be considered through individual appointments with the head of school. If your student will be under age five for the start of the school year, the expectation is that you will schedule their first dose appointment at your earliest convenience after their fifth birthday.

*Open house timed-entry slots are one hour long and are filling up. Sign up for events above in Ravenna, or email [email protected] with any issues. We are here to help!

Please note: tuition for the 2022-23 school year will be determined in February 2022. The costs listed below reflect the 2021-22 school year.

• Tuition: $31,560 (pre-K through 5th grade)
• Extended Day: $4,890 for entire school year (K-5)/$4,000 (pre-K only), or drop-in rate of $33 per day (all grades)

The only additional costs families may incur are one-on-one Learning Services support and optional after-school clubs.
