Apply to Friends

The Friends School of Atlanta (FSA) uses an online application system called Ravenna to organize all admissions applications, registration forms and more. The online application will be available October 1st. In the meantime, please create an account within Ravenna to receive notifications about Parent Informational Tours and Open Houses for the current admissions season – all of which take place from October through April.

To learn more about FSA, please come to an Open House and/or make a reservation for a Parent Informational Tour. Admissions Events will begin in October. Parents can register via Ravenna.

The best way to determine if The Friends School of Atlanta is the right school to support your child’s academic and social-emotional journey is to join us for one of our regularly scheduled Parent Informational Tours. These tours are conducted in small groups and provide in-depth information about the programs and culture of FSA.

We have limited openings available for the current school year, so please apply online in Ravenna if you are interested in the current academic year. Create a profile and at the top, select "fall 2024" in the dropdown.

Applications for 2025-2026 will be available in Ravenna on October 1, 2024.

A completed application consists of the following by the admissions deadlines:

• Application and $80 application fee
• Parent questionnaire form
• School records (report cards), as appropriate, from last academic school year
• The AAAIS Teacher Evaluation Common Form from your child’s current teacher(s).
• If applicable, any IEP, 504 plan or psychoeducational evaluation reports 
• Observation/Assessment

Families can apply for Tuition Assistance starting November 1st, 2024 through Blackbaud Financial Aid. The application is due early February.

Please note, tuition assistance is only awarded to Kindergarten to Grade 8 families. Little Friends applicants are not eligible to receive aid.

2025-2026 AAAIS Common Dates have not yet been released.

As a member of the Atlanta Area Association of Independent Schools (AAAIS), The Friends School of Atlanta has agreed to abide by certain common admissions procedures. Online notifications will be posted in your Ravenna account at 8:00am on Saturday March 30, 2024. The deadline for families to accept an offer of enrollment is Thursday, April 11, 2024. Please note that both the admission decision and financial aid award decision will be communicated on March 30th, 2024.

All member schools have agreed not to initiate contact with families between March 30 and April 11 to protect applicant families from being pressured by schools. While we will return phone calls and emails initiated by applicant families, this policy does not allow for visits to campus or meetings with representatives of our school during this period. You can find the AAAIS Principles of Best Practice on their website.
