Apply to Marist
Apply for the 2021-2022 School Year
We are delighted you are interested in applying to Marist School. Marist has two primary entry points for students in 7th and 9th grades to which we typically accept 150 and 50 students respectively. Admission in upper grades is dependent on space availability. For families interested in applying to Marist for the 2021-2022 school year, please create a Ravenna account and explore Marist School to access our 2020-2021 application.
Regarding 8th grade applications, at this time, our current 7th grade class is fully enrolled, and we do not anticipate accepting new students into the 8th grade for fall 2021. However, we are accepting wait pool applications, in the event an opening becomes available. With this in mind, we do not currently require an application fee or SSAT & CSS results. We will notify 8th grade applicants of next steps should circumstances change.
For all other applicants, Marist will continue to require the SSAT as part of the application process. There are three safe and convenient ways to take the SSAT: computer-based at home, computer-based at a Prometric Test Center, and paper-based administered by an educational consultant or at a local testing site if available. More information is available on the SSAT website.
