Teaching Approach

Updated 8mo ago

Oneness-Family High School uses a Montessori, student-driven model where learning is purposeful and authentic, with teachers guiding rather than dictating. The program emphasizes experiential “learning by doing,” real-world community engagement (including internships/service), and close mentorship through intentionally small classes and advisory support. Coursework is designed to be integrated and passion-led, building critical thinking, communication, and leadership skills for addressing complex 21st-century challenges.

Admissions

Updated 8mo ago

Oneness-Family High School (Kensington campus) asks prospective families to start by booking a tour or attending an open house, typically after submitting an inquiry form for scheduling. (onenessfamily.org) Applications are submitted through the Ravenna online portal; the school says it accepts applications year-round based on availability, recommends applying early because classes fill quickly, and notes that current students have priority for admission (with new-family decisions communicated by the first week of March). (onenessfamily.org) Required materials include an application form and confidential student recommendation(s) for all levels, plus school transcripts for Grades 1–12; once the application and required documents are complete, families are scheduled for a parent meeting and a student classroom visit (visits range from about an hour to a full day depending on age). (onenessfamily.org) For the 2025–2026 admissions cycle, the site lists these key dates: application opens September 1; fall/winter open houses & tours run October 1–February 1; financial aid applications for new applicants are due January 15; and admissions decisions are announced March 2. (onenessfamily.org) The admissions pages do not describe a formal waitlist policy; instead they state that applications submitted/completed after February are reviewed on a rolling basis and that year-round applications depend on availability.
