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.

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

5. Submission of recommendations from student’s most recent English teacher, math teacher, and counselor or principal
6. Optional: Submit SSAT/ISEE or Character Skills Snapshot results.
7. Schedule a shadow visit, a half day experience at Kehillah. 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 David Weiner.  
9. Optional: Schedule a group parent meeting with Kehillah Head of School, Dr. Daisy Pellant, and Associate Head of School, Dr. Roy Danovitch.

Kehillah students applying for the 2024-2025 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.
