Admissions Dates and Deadlines

Kindergarten

Hewitt is now accepting applications for the 2021-2022 school year. Through Ravenna, our online application system, you will be able to apply to Hewitt and schedule the online visits that make up the kindergarten admissions process.

In alignment with Hewitt’s mission and academic philosophy, we will administer an in-house, personalized online assessment for kindergarten applicants during the 2020-2021 admissions season. At Hewitt, we believe that teaching and learning is a profound act of presence and we place tremendous value on personal connection and attention to each individual student and family. Our individualized assessment is designed to help us get to know your child and understand her development holistically.

We understand that parents and guardians are feeling especially anxious this admissions season, and our goal is to be fully transparent with you about our assessment in order to make your child feel comfortable during her online interactions with us. There will likely be bumps along the way because Zoom was not designed for children this age, but we will do everything we can to ensure that each child is given the time and the space to demonstrate her unique potential.

We look forward to meeting your daughter and your family this season.
