How to Apply

YOUR DANA HALL JOURNEY STARTS HERE

Dana Hall enrolls intelligent, enthusiastic students who are fascinated by the world around them. Who are always asking why, want to know how and are eager to determine what's next. If that's who you are, apply to Dana Hall!  

Our application is comprehensive, and our evaluation process is highly individualized. The Dana Hall Admission Committee practices a holistic and context-based approach that considers each student’s achievements and successes in relation to their individual opportunities and challenges. We want to know who you are and what makes you tick. As we do, we'll share with you how Dana Hall can support your academic and extracurricular aspirations. When you commit to this process, you will learn so much about yourself and what truly matters to you. We look forward to getting to know you through this journey, too. Follow the steps below and contact the Admission Office with any questions along the way.

 

Although Dana Hall's regular admission deadline for Fall 2023 has passed, we have a rolling admission process based on space availability. Before starting an application in Ravenna, please contact the Admission Office (781-489-1331 or admission@danahall.org) to inquire about openings in your entry grade. If you are interested in Fall 2024, please note that we are reviewing our process and requirements and next year's application will be available in late August.
