Application process
Step 1: Inquire.
If you’re interested in learning more about AVS, the first step is to complete our very brief inquiry form to get onto our mailing list and to open your account with Ravenna – the software on which our Admissions Portal operates.
Step 2: Attend an information session
In light of COVID-19 and health and safety precautions, visitors to campus are strictly limited. We will still ensure that you receive a deeper look into our philosophy, programs, and a sense of our school community. We can't wait to meet you.
Step 3: Submit an application
The priority application deadline for the 2022–2023 school year is January 19, 2022. Applications are accepted after this date based on space availability only. A $100 application fee is due with the application.

Individual one-on-one meetings will be scheduled by our teaching staff.
- Required for 1st-8th grade only.
