Step 1: Inquire & Visit

Get to know our campuses! We require all families to Tour or attend an Open House prior to applying. This first step helps us get to know one another, and we get a chance to show you all the exciting aspects of our programs.

During admissions season (November - early February), Cedar Crest Academy uses an Inquiry Form via Ravenna Hub for families to register for pre-scheduled Tours & Open Houses. Ravenna Hub is a web-based application platform to stay in touch, track, and manage your application progress.

Pre-scheduled Tours & Open Houses for the 2023-2024 School Year have concluded. To inquire or schedule a tour, please get in touch with admissions@cedarcrestacademy.org

Step 2: Apply

Our Admissions Team is reviewing applications for the 2023-2024 School Year. Any applications submitted after February 3rd will be placed on our waitlist and considered for rolling admission on a space-available basis. This includes incomplete applications or late Teacher Recommendation Forms. 

Once you have attended a tour or Open House, you can begin our application process.

To apply, you must create an account in Ravenna Hub, our admissions platform. Here you will enter your family and student's background information. Click HERE to create an account in Ravenna.
