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.

   Transfer students should schedule a personalized Shadow a Ram Day where we will pair them with a same-grade current student and design a day that fits their current class schedule.

10. Schedule a virtual or on-campus parent interview with Director of Strategy and Enrollment Jamie Reichman.

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.
