The best way to get to know LREI is to see our students and faculty in action. That’s why we strongly recommend that all interested families attend an admissions event. We encourage middle and high school applicants to attend with their families.

In-person tours occur during the school day and provide families with the opportunity to visit classrooms, see students at work, and meet with divisional faculty and/or administrators. On middle and high school tours, current students will be available to speak with prospective students and their families. There will be time for questions at the conclusion of each tour. 

Open Houses take place during the evening and include a curriculum fair and conversations with LREI faculty, students and parents.

Virtual information sessions occur in the evening and offer a broad overview of LREI's program. We encourage participants to ask specific questions during the Q&A at the end of the session.

Registration for all admissions events is available via Ravenna-hub.com. 

Please note that, for middle and high school applicants only, families must complete the Preliminary Application before signing up for an in-person tour. Virtual information sessions and Open Houses are available for all prospective families.
