Admission
The Journey Starts Here
Welcome to Greens Farms Academy. You and your family are beginning an exciting journey: selecting a new school. We look forward to meeting you and sharing our love of learning with you and your child.
Academics
Journey of Discovery
How do you build independent thinkers? At GFA, we ask a lot of questions. Join us at the Harkness table to discuss how our students think broadly and deeply while keeping goodness at their core.
Arts
Where You Take the Lead
If, as some say, "creativity is the currency of the 21st century," then how do we best foster creative thinking in the school setting?
Athletics
Strong and Spirited
The maintenance of good health and fitness through exercise are hallmarks of a well-rounded education. Our students develop a lifelong, positive attitude toward participation in physical activities.
Community
Involved and Connected
In the end, the sense of community may be what you remember most about the school.

You can begin the process and inquire about GFA for the 2025-2026 school year by creating an account in Ravenna. This will allow us to gather your contact information and provide you with updates from our Admission Office.

Campus visits are a great way to see GFA in action, to understand why we are so proud of our school, and to get all of your questions answered. The required interview and campus tour visit includes a conversation with a member of our admission team, a student-led campus tour for Middle and Upper School, and parent-led campus tour for Lower School.

Interviews and tours are now available for registration in your Ravenna account. You may register for your interview and tour by submitting the student profile and paying the application fee, then scroll to the interview step below where you will find a calendar of options to choose from.

Our Student Ambassadors love showing new families exactly what they love about their GFA experience.

We hope you'll plan a visit to get to know us better through the eyes of the students who call GFA home.

One of the things I love most about GFA is how everyday is different. You talk to new people and learn new things. It’s hard for a week to be boring.

What I love most about GFA is our community. Entering in 9th grade I was terrified, but the students and teachers before and the teachers truly welcomed me and I could not be more at home here.

We hope you'll plan a visit to get to know us better through the eyes of the students who call GFA home.

What I love most about my time at GFA is the balance of my academic, athletic, and social life. At GFA, students are academically challenged, but given the time and resources by teachers in-order to help them succeed in the classroom. Especially with the smaller sized classes, there's more one-on-one opportunity for students. Due to the requirement of playing a sport at GFA, all students will end up finding an activity they like to do. Whether you already play a sport, or need new ones to try, students will enjoy their athletic life. And socially, GFA's tight-knit community and common spaces make it more than easy to find a group of people that you connect with. Small class sizes make it so you know almost everyone, which isn't something you get in many other schools.

There’s a lot to love about GFA, but I would say its tight-knit community is what attracted me the most when I was applying to schools in 8th grade. I feel close with my teachers to the point where I don’t feel like I need to stress if I ever have any questions or problems in class. Additionally, it’s nice to have kind classmates who all know your name and want to see you succeed.
