A tour and interview are required parts of the admission process. Tours and interviews are offered from September 29, 2025, until January 31, 2026. Once you have started an application you can schedule your interview through Ravenna.  If all appointments are booked please call the Admission Office at (617) 738-2725.

• Please schedule your visit as soon as possible.
• Your application does not need to be completed in order to schedule your interview.
• Please call the Admission Office to schedule more than one student or if you have any questions.

At least one parent or caregiver should accompany the applicant. The interview includes separate conversations with the applicant and parent(s)/caregiver(s). During the parent/caregiver interview, students will complete a writing sample. These interviews are an opportunity for us to get to know the student/family and for you to get to know more about Beaver. You can expect the visit to take about two hours.

All application materials are due by January 15.
