Kindergarten

A Synapse Information Session is a required first step in the admissions process. These 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 Night 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. Proof of vaccination for all attendees will be required. Event dates and registration will be posted in Ravenna when available.

All applications submitted after our January 14, 2022 will be considered as 2nd Pool applications. Depending on the availability of spaces in the applicant grade after our March 2022 decisions, we will activate the application process for 2nd Pool applicants.

A member of our Admissions team will meet virtually 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. 

We would like to get to know your child through videos you create at home. Guidance and details for these videos will be shared in Ravenna in November. These videos may be taken with a cell phone and no preparation is needed. Our intention with these videos is to make this an easy and comfortable experience for your child.

Every applicant will have a One-on-One Student-Teacher Meeting. This is an opportunity for Synapse teachers to get to know your child better and for your child to ask any questions they may have.
