Application Process

We use a web-based online application called Ravenna for the submission of online applications. Through Ravenna, you will be able to manage your application online and complete the Parent/Guardian Application and the Student Application. You will also be able to send your recommendation forms to the appropriate teachers and administrators, and print out a transcript release to send to your current school.

To apply to Kehillah through Ravenna,

1. Click on the "Apply Now" button below.
2. Create an Account
3. Choose Kehillah from the Schools Directory.

 The steps below can all be submitted through our online application on Ravenna. 

1. Submission of the Parent/Guardian Application
2. Payment of the $100 non-refundable Application Fee
3. Submission of the Student Application.
4. Submission of the school transcript for sixth and seventh grades (2022-23 and 2023-24 school years) and the first report card of the 2024-25 school year
5. Submission of recommendations from the student’s most recent English teacher, math teacher, counselor, or principal
6. Optional: Submit SSAT/ISEE or Character Skills Snapshot results.
7. Schedule a Rising Rams Visit Day, where the applicant can meet students, attend classes, and envision themselves as a Ram. We believe that every student matters which is why each student is required to complete a shadow visit. 
8. Schedule a virtual student interview with Jordana Bischoff, Associate Director of Admissions. 
9. Schedule a virtual or on-campus parent interview with Jamie Reichman, Director of Strategy and Enrollment.

Kehillah students applying for the 2026-27 academic year are not required to submit standardized test scores. That said, Kehillah accepts results from standardized exams (like the SSAT or ISEE) OR the Character Skills Snapshot, which measures student preferences, attitudes, and beliefs toward intellectual, intrapersonal, and interpersonal character skills. 

Through Kehillah’s holistic admissions process, we hope to learn as much as we can about each student’s personal and academic journey and to understand each of their interests, dreams, and needs. The most powerful and important parts of the application are the self-portraits that students offer in their personal statements and the stories that parents, teachers, and others share over the course of the admissions process.
