The Head-Royce application process begins each fall for the next school year for all grade levels. Candidates are urged to apply early. Decisions are mailed in March, with acceptances occasionally offered after that time on a space available basis.

Head-Royce uses a web-based application called Ravenna to manage submission of applications. Through Ravenna applicants are able to fill out required forms, submit supplemental application materials, and track application progress. New users will need to create an account with Ravenna. Returning users can log in using their username and password.

Kindergarten and Grade 6 Applicants Only*

Families who currently have a child enrolled at Head-Royce (sibling families) and children of Head-Royce faculty/staff (employee families) who wish to apply for kindergarten or Grade 6, are given early decision consideration and notification in the Head-Royce admission process. Sibling/employee family applicants must meet the following deadlines for this special consideration. We do not offer early consideration and notification for any other grades.*
