Can I apply to multiple private schools at once?

Yes, you can apply to many private schools at once, but it’s important to repurpose each application to align it with the school’s unique values or programs. Some schools participate in a common application system, such as the Ravenna or Standard Application Online (SAO), which allows families to submit one application to multiple schools. Of course, it’s important to note that many schools are unique from one another and have different requirements. One school may require a specific essay, and the other may require another essay with a different prompt. Managing multiple applications requires strong organization and time management to meet deadlines, avoid errors, and ensure each submission is tailored to the school’s mission. Researching each school’s requirements early can streamline the process and improve application quality.
