Over the summer, you may create your account and student profile on Ravenna-Hub and make your 8th grader a profile. In preparation for scheduling events, please make sure to use your preferred email address, as we will utilize it for communication throughout the application process.

REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED FOR ALL URBAN EVENTS!

Admissions events are only open to 8th graders and their families. All events are optional and may be scheduled in your Ravenna-Hub account. After clicking apply, you will be able to begin exploring Urban and scheduling events.

To see the various virtual and in-person events being offered by Urban this fall, please go here.
 

Recommendations are needed from your current English and math teachers, as well as your current principal or counselor. Through Ravenna, you will be directed to a message center where you can enter your teacher or principal/counselor's email address. Once you've assigned a delegate (the current teacher or principal/counselor) to complete the form, a message with instructions and the recommendation form will be sent to them, all through Ravenna.

Complete the Transcript Request Form for your current year and previous year transcripts. Official transcripts must be scanned and uploaded to Ravenna or sent in a sealed envelope to Urban by the application deadline. Sending the transcripts electronically is strongly preferred and will be processed much faster than paper documents. The Transcript Release Form must accompany the official transcripts. Transcripts can be emailed to admissions@urbanschool.org.

Submit the online Parent/Guardian Form and the non-refundable $100 application fee on your Ravenna-hub by the application deadline.

If a fee waiver would be helpful for your family when completing the Urban Parent/Guardian Application, please use the code BLUES28.

Submit the Student Application Form and the separate Student Activity and Interest Form on your Ravenna-hub account by the application deadline. 

Urban is committed to maintaining a strong financial assistance program, which seeks to ensure an Urban education remains accessible to qualified students regardless of their economic circumstances. During 2023-24, $4.93 million in financial assistance has been awarded to 29% of our students, with an average award of 69% ($39,753).

Financial assistance applications for the 2024-25 school year are due on January 9, 2024. Urban families reapply for financial assistance each year through Clarity Tuition so that any major changes to a family’s financial situation can be reflected in the student’s financial assistance package, though most students receive a similar award each year if the need remains the same.

More details can be found on the Financial Assistance section of our website.
