Thank you for your interest in joining our community.

Steps for Getting Started

  • Take a bird’s eye spin around around campus with our virtual tour.
  • Chat with friends or neighbors who are part of the Jackson Walnut Park community about their experiences. We’re happy to make introductions, too!
  • Review the information here on our site about our mission, values, and program offerings.
  • Register to join us at an upcoming Open House: March 6

Steps to Apply

  • Jackson Walnut Park School uses the Ravenna platform to support our application process. Your first step is to set up a Ravenna account if you don’t already have one.
  • Next, submit a Jackson Walnut Park inquiry form. This is also an opportunity to sign up for upcoming events such as open houses.
  • Gather the information you’ll need to upload into Ravenna with your application. This usually includes information about your family and your child(ren) as well as recent progress updates, report cards, and teacher recommendations, depending the age(s) of your child(ren).
  • Request a tour of our Toddler | Primary program (18 Months – 6 Years Old) here and/or Elementary program (Kindergarten – Grade 6) here to experience our learning community in person.
