Complete a Preliminary Application

Your written application helps us get to know your child and your family! We appreciate openness and candor in your responses. The more information we have, the more likely we are to help identify if your child is the right fit for Nomad, and if Nomad is the right fit for your family. Complete an application through Ravenna.

Schedule a Shadow Visit

We invite interested students to join us at Nomad for an adventurous day of learning and play! During a shadow visit, your child can get a feel for our school while we get to know them. A shadow visit is required for anyone who applies to Nomad. You can register your child for a shadow visit through Ravenna after attending an Open House and completing a preliminary application. Please note, we cap each shadow visit to 6 visiting students, so space fills up quickly!

Flexible Tuition: Due February 6th, 2026

Nomad feels very strongly that the only way to educate is within a diverse group. Diversity of thought, experience, interest, ability, culture, and identity are crucial to creating a robust learning experience. We offer tuition adjustment as a way to ensure socio-economic diversity, based on a family’s. demonstrated ability to pay and Nomad’s availability of funds. We use the Clarity Financial Aid application to determine a family’s demonstrated financial need.

To get started with Clarity, please create an account and start the application process online using the button to the right. Clarity’s application can be completed in 30 minutes, and is mobile-friendly. There’s a fee of $65 to submit an application, but you can submit your applicatin to any other schools who accept Clarity without paying an additional fee.
