A Synapse Information Session is a required first step in the admissions process. These virtual sessions are designed to guide you in deciding whether the Synapse School philosophy and program are a fit for your child and family. During this presentation, Synapse leadership and faculty and a current parent will share our Vision and Mission, and provide both general information and curricular examples of the Synapse program. This event is intended only for adults as applicants will have a student-centered opportunity to learn more about Synapse. See all scheduled Admissions events here.

In-Person School Tours 

Once you have attended a Synapse Information Session and submitted your application, you are invited to attend an in-person school tour for parents/guardians. This is an excellent opportunity to see our classes in action, meet our teachers, and visit with Leadership. 

Program Highlights Events 

You are invited to attend one (or more!) of our virtual sessions to hear more about the Brainwave Learning Center, Social-Emotional Learning, and our Learning Center. 

Complete the application steps online using Ravenna.

• Synapse School application
• Family photo
• $90 application fee

• Teacher recommendation form: In Ravenna, delegate the form to your child's current teacher(s) and allow appropriate time for your teacher to complete and return it to Synapse School. 
• Educational and any other assessments: Assessments inform our holistic evaluation of each individual child. If you have any educational or other academic assessments (WISC, WPPSI, Qualitative Assessment, ISEE, SSAT, etc) you feel will help us understand your child, please submit them.

All applications submitted after our January 6, 2023 will be considered as 2nd Pool applications. Depending on the availability of spaces in the applicant grade after our March 2023 decisions, we will activate the application process for 2nd Pool applicants.

A member of our Admissions team will meet with all parents/guardians to clarify any questions parents/guardians may have and to review the philosophy and program of Synapse School. Most importantly, this is an opportunity for you to share about your child and for us to get to know your family. 

Once you have submitted an application, your child will be invited to experience Synapse School through a Playgroup. It is an opportunity for your child to meet our teachers and participate in fun Synapse activities. The playgroup does not involve one-on-one or formal testing.
