Admissions are open! Field & Forest uses a web-based application hosted by Ravenna. Through Ravenna, you will be able to submit your application and track its status online.
You will be prompted to create an account if you do not already have one in Ravenna using the "apply" button above.
We welcome applicants on a rolling basis any time of the year. Depending on class size and openings, mid-year enrollment is sometimes an option.
Touring Field & Forest is an essential part of the admissions process, and is required prior to an offer of admission. You will be offered an opportunity to schedule a tour through the application process in Ravenna. Please email outdoorprograms@the-attic.org if you have any questions, or need to schedule an alternative time.
Join us for our annual January Open House at Field & Forest! Tour our facility, meet our teachers, and learn more about our unique program! Children are welcome to attend.
You may register for this event using the "apply" button above (you do not need to submit an application in order to register for an Open House event).
We believe that the Field & Forest Outdoor Preschool experience should be within reach of all children regardless of socio-economic status. Tuition assistance decisions are made independent of admissions decisions, thus your application for tuition assistance should be completed through FAST as early in the application process as possible and is independent of your admissions application.
FAST provides our school with a need-based financial analysis, allowing us to allocate our resources wisely and fairly. All information from FAST regarding a family’s request for financial assistance is kept confidential.
The FAST application for financial assistance will be available in November at apply.ismfast.com.
To aid you in the tuition assistance process, please review the following guides prior to beginning your application.
