Elementary

We look forward to taking this journey with your family.

When you are ready, applying to Serendipity School is simple! The full application is available on Ravenna and is easy to complete. The system will allow you to begin the form, take a break, and return to it later. Your application will not be viewable by the Serendipity School Admissions Team until you press the “Submit” button. Please do this when you are ready. You will be able to review the status of your application at any time during the admissions process.

All of the following must be submitted by the due date for a child’s application to be considered by
Serendipity School’s Admissions Department:

1. Completed Application
2. Application Fee of $200 

1.  Current Teacher Evaluation Form (K and 1 st  through 5th  Grades)
2. Transcript Release and Confidentiality Form (1 st  through 5th  Grades)
3. Schedule a Parent Meeting through Ravenna (K and 1st  through 5th  Grades)

We believe in building strong relationships; therefore, it is important to us that we really get to know your child and your family. Parents of all prospective students will have the opportunity to meet with members of our enrollment management team after submitting an application. This informal Q&A session is a benefit to both the family and our school.

Records and recommendations are also required from each child’s current school. Your child’s current teacher has had the pleasure of developing a long-term relationship with your child. While we do meet and assess every Serendipity School applicant, information from your child’s current teacher is invaluable to us. Please send your child’s teacher an online invitation to complete the Teacher Evaluation Form through Ravenna.

Parents of First through Fifth Grade applicants, in addition to securing a Current Teacher Evaluation Form from your child’s current teacher, please provide the Transcript Release and Confidentiality Form to your child’s school office or student records department. We prefer that schools upload transcripts to Ravenna,
but we will also accept hard copies.

We believe in really seeing students and celebrating their unique selves. Student visits and assessments help us to get to know students and see who they are as learners and community members. Every applicant must participate in an in-person meeting, activity session, and assessment. These assessments afford us the opportunity to get to know children in a relaxed, nurturing, safe, and fun environment. Please follow the assessment steps below.

All applicants are required to schedule a visit and assessment day through Ravenna. Kindergarten applicants will schedule a half day visit. First through Fifth Grade applicants will schedule a full day visit. We will strive to get to know each child personally, socially, and academically. We want to learn more about what our school can offer each child and what each child will contribute to the Serendipity School community. The goal is to preserve an engaged, happy, and thriving community of students who support each other and love to learn.

DECISION LETTERS--Postal mailed and emailed

We look forward to sharing wonderful news with new students and families. Serendipity School will notify parents of the status of their child’s application by postal mail and email. Families of accepted students will be invited to formally enroll at Serendipity School; one week will be granted to these families for decision-making and invitation acceptance.
