Student Recommendation (Grades TK-8)
We love becoming acquainted with our prospective students. One important way we do so is by reading their current teachers’ recommendations. This is also a best practice employed by all Bay Area Independent schools.

On your Hausner application checklist on Ravenna, there is a link to send your child's current teacher an email with a link to a confidential Student Recommendation form. Once the teacher fills out the form they will submit it directly to our school.

School Records and Report Cards (Grades 1-8)
On your Hausner application checklist on Ravenna, there is a link to send your child's current school an email to request school records and report cards be sent to Hausner. We ask for the most recent report card as well as the previous year's report card for each student applying to grades 1-8.

Upper School Questionnaire (Grades 5-8)
Is your child applying for Hausner’s Upper School (5th - 8th grades)? If so,  we are eager to learn more from your child. On your Hausner application checklist on Ravenna, there is a link to a short questionnaire for students applying to grades 5-8.

Upon completion of the above steps, the Admission Committee will review each application. Admissions decisions and tuition assistance information will be emailed on March 14, 2024 in accordance with the practices of the Bay Area Independent Schools. Enrollment contracts and tuition deposit are due March 21, 2024.

Siblings of current students will receive their decisions on February 16, 2024, and contracts are due back on February 26.
