How to Apply to the Lower School

Please note that our deadline has passed to apply for the 2025-2026 admission season. Our admission season for the 2026-2027 year will start in September.

Create an Account
To begin, you will need to either log into your Ravenna Hub portal, or create a new account. Once logged in, you will see a list of “Application Steps”, describing all of the Milton Academy Admission required elements. You can check back as often as you wish to see an updated list of materials we have received and items that have been checked off. Through the Ravenna hub you can:

• Manage your application
• Initiate requests for recommendations and school reports
• Schedule a Tour/Interview, as well as register for other relevant events
• View decision letter on March 10

While we encourage families to begin the application process before the deadline, completed applications are due by January 15, 2025.

Application Fee
A non-refundable application fee of $65 for domestic applicants and $125 USD for international applicants must be submitted online, along with your application, using Visa, Mastercard or Discover. Fee waivers are available if the fee represents a financial hardship for your family. Please contact the Lower and Middle School Admission Office for details.

School Reports
In your Ravenna portal, you will be able to authorize the release of academic records from the current and past year to your applicant’s school/s.

Teacher Recommendation
The AISNE form is a confidential document that must be sent to us directly from your child’s school or teachers. You can request this recommendation via an online form in your “Application Steps” instructions in Ravenna. Additionally, there is an optional, supplemental recommendation form that can be filled out by a former teacher, coach, tutor, instructor, etc.

Kindergarten Individual Assessment (Kindergarten applicants only)
Once your child’s application is submitted, we will contact you to schedule an individual assessment appointment.

Group Visits (Kindergarten and Grade 4 only)
All applicants for Kindergarten and Grade 4 will be scheduled for a Group Visit. This visit is assigned upon receipt of the online application. The Group Visit is an essential part of the admission process. It provides an opportunity for the prospective students to learn more about Milton, and for our admission officers to get to know each applicant.

Please note that this visit can be waived for applicants who are applying from out of state or internationally.
