Support or Help
If at any point you should have a question about Ravenna and your application, please contact them at help@ravennasolutions.com.  Ravenna is happy to answer your inquiry by phone, however, they require that all support inquiries are initiated through the email address you used to create your Ravenna account.  It is important that they are able to validate your access to any information about your applicant’s account to protect your privacy.

We invite you to join us for an in-person tour of campus and our facilities on the upcoming Saturdays in January. Open to applicants only and registration is required. You can register for your personalized tour in your Ravenna account. Masks are required while on campus and a COVID visitor protocol will be sent in advance. A limit of 5 people per family will be allowed at a time and tours will last 30 minutes. Please reach out to the Admission Office if you have any questions (admission@gfs.org/410-559-3111). We look forward to welcoming you to campus! Thank you for your patience and flexibility as we seek to keep you, our team, and our community as safe as possible during this time!

Due to the complications regarding the COVID-19 outbreak and the uncertainty regarding entrance exam dates in 2020, Garrison Forest is implementing a test-optional admissions policy, which means that we do not require students to share results of entrance exams if you have been unable to test.

If you do decide to take an entrance exam, test results should be sent directly to Garrison Forest by including our school code on the registration form.  GFS code for the ISEE: 210580. GFS code for the SSAT: 3358

We will announce day student decisions for all complete applicants on February 19, 2021. Boarding decisions will be announced on March 10, 2021. Decisions will be released via email. 

Feel free to contact a member of the Admission Team after decisions are announced with any questions.
