K-8 Admissions

To begin the application process, you must create an account via Ravenna Hub and select Williamsburg Northside School from the School Directory. Through Ravenna, you will be able to start the application process, email teacher recommendation forms directly to your child’s teachers, register for school events, submit all admissions materials, and check the status of your application.

Note: Be sure to establish your Ravenna account with an email address that you can use for the entire admissions season, and make note of your password so that you can check into your account as needed.

To truly understand what makes our Northside community so unique, we require you to attend a virtual 1:1 information session. Our 1:1 information sessions provide an individualized opportunity for you to get to know more about our school, and for us to learn about you, your child, and what you value most.  To reserve a spot at one of our upcoming 1:1 information sessions, please register via Ravenna Hub.

You do not need to submit an application to attend a 1:1 information session.

There will also be opportunities to attend virtual Q&A sessions. They will provide an overview of what makes Northside unique, and allow you to ask questions to our Leadership team in a small group setting. You will be able to register through Eventbrite when the event is live.

Complete and submit an online application along with a $65 application fee and parent statement. Fees are waived for siblings and students who previously applied. Contact the admissions office for the waiver code, if needed. 

You will be asked to submit a teacher recommendation form, which can be found in Ravenna Hub and should be completed by your child’s current teacher. Please give your teachers notice early so they can complete the forms before the application deadline.

You should also request that you child’s current school send school records directly to Northside, or email them to Alyssa Estevez aestevez@willnorth.org

*For Grades 6 through 8 only

The Character Skills Snapshot, allows us the ability to learn even more about applicants; specifically, seven character skills that were selected for their connection to future success in school, work, and life. We believe that students should be evaluated in a more holistic way that includes more personal elements in addition to the traditional elements of an application.

Once an application is complete, our Director of Admissions will reach out to arrange a time for your child to meet with us virtually for a classroom visit and student assessment. The first 15 minutes of your child’s assessment will provide them with an opportunity to see our student-centered inquiry approach to learning in action and connect with our students. The assessment portion is a chance for us to observe your child’s development in reading, writing, and math. Please allow an hour and a half for both.

*Complete means ALL steps above are finished, and each application step is checked with a green checkmark within Ravenna Hub.

This is required if you’re requesting financial aid. Please visit the SSS website to complete the application. For more information on the financial aid process please click here.
