Application Process

Apply for the 2023-2024 School Year

We are thrilled you are considering Marist School for your child’s next chapter. 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 8th, 10th, and 11th grades is dependent on space availability.

At this time, the deadline to apply for the 2023-2024 school year has passed. If you are moving from out of state, or you are interested in submitting a Late Wait Pool Application for your child, please contact the Admissions Office at (770) 936-2214 or admissions@marist.com to speak with an Admissions Officer and to receive an access code for Ravenna, our application management system.

Application Process

The Marist School application is a multi-step process with required components from your child’s current school and your family’s current place of worship, among others.

Step 1 – Create a Ravenna Account

Step 2 - Submit the Online Application

After creating a Student Profile, return to the Marist School profile in the Ravenna School Directory.

Please visit the Marist Academic Center for more information about available resources for students. The application fee is $100.

Step 5 - Register for the SSAT

Marist continues to require the SSAT as part of the application process. On Saturday, January 7, 2023, Marist will serve as a community test site with accommodations for the SSAT. This is the last national testing day prior to our application deadline of January 23, 2023 when a first set of SSAT scores is due. Our school code is 4870 for those wishing to release scores directly to Marist. Please note that we no longer require the Character Skills Snapshot.

Step 6 - Deliver Transcript Request

Step 7 - Delegate Teacher Evaluation Forms

Step 8 - Delegate Administrator/Counselor Form

Step 9 - Delegate Parish/Church Verification Form

As a Catholic school, Marist School believes all families should be active in a community of believers. Participation in meaningful faith activities both at home and church, or other place of worship, is vital in the overall development of the child. Please delegate via Ravenna the Parish/Church Verification Form to the administrator at your current place of worship. The completed form is submitted directly to Ravenna.
