  • Student Profile Photo

    Please upload a current photo of your student to his profile in Ravenna, if possible.
  • Student Statement

    The student should complete the student statement form in Ravenna, in his own words. This allows the admissions team to learn more about the applicant and why he would like to attend Saint John’s.
  • Parent Statement

    The student's parent or guardian is asked to complete the parent statement form in Ravenna in order to help us get to know your family better.
  • School Transcripts

    Saint John’s requires grades from the 2021-2022 school year along with the most recent report card from the 2022-2023 school year. A parent or guardian must print and sign the Transcript Release Form found in Ravenna and submit it to the applicant’s current school. The school will then send your student's transcripts directly to Saint John's. 
  • Recommendation

    The recommendation may come from a current teacher, counselor, or school administrator who knows the applicant well. In Ravenna, input the full name and email address of the person who has agreed to provide the recommendation on behalf of your student. A secure, unique link will be emailed to the delegated individual, allowing them to submit the completed form directly to Saint John’s. Only ONE recommendation is required.
  • High School Shadow Program

    The High School Shadow Program is designed to give prospective students an opportunity to experience Saint John's for a portion of the school day from 8:00 a.m. to 12:50 p.m. Shadow visitors in the high school division will accompany a current student to homeroom, four academic classes, a tour of the campus, and lunch during the 2022-2023 school year. While a shadow day is not mandatory, we encourage all prospective students to participate in order to truly get a feel for our school.
