Schedule Parent Interview
Once you have submitted an application, you will be able to schedule your parent interview via Ravenna. Ideally, the parent interview should take place after you have attended a virtual open house. Both in-person and virtual options are available; interviews are approximately 45 minutes in length. Interviews are reserved for adults; we look forward to meeting your children during the applicant playgroup.
Schedule Applicant Playgroup
Once you have submitted an application, you will be able to schedule your child’s playgroup visit via Ravenna. Any adult with whom your child is comfortable can accompany them to their playgroup visit. Playgroups are 30 minutes in length for 2s and 3s applicants, and 45 minutes in length for Pre-K applicants. Please note that regardless of the campus to which they are applying, applicants can attend a playgroup on either the Riverside or 94th Street campus.
Submit ISAAGNY Confidential School Report
3s & Pre-K (4s) applicants who are currently enrolled in a fully separated preschool program must submit the confidential Independent School Admissions Association of Greater New York (ISAAGNY) school report. This report is to be given to your child's current school and must be submitted directly from their school to ours. If your child presently attends an ISAAGNY school, they can supply you with the form. It can also be downloaded from this page.
