Application Process

Apply for the 2024-2025 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. 

Marist School utilizes Ravenna, an application management system, for all aspects of the admissions process. Through Ravenna, parents can access the Marist application, submit supporting materials, track application status, and view admission decisions. The deadline to apply for the 2024-2025 school year is January 22, 2024.

Importantly, Marist continues to require the SSAT as part of the application process. On Saturday, January 6, 2024, Marist will serve as a community test site for the SSAT. This is the last national testing day prior to our application deadline when a first set of SSAT scores is due.

Since 1985, Marist has been a member of A Better Chance (ABC), a national school referral service noted for its work with students of color. More than 30 ABC Scholars currently attend Marist, and nearly 150 scholars have graduated to date. For candidates referred to Marist by A Better Chance, please review our helpful ABC Checklist. Importantly, some application items come directly to Marist from A Better Chance, while others are specific to Marist and require the prospective family to complete and submit.
