For over 100 years, Branson has been a tight-knit community committed to a big mission: developing students who make a positive impact in the world by leading lives of integrity, purpose, learning, and joy. Branson is a school with a reputation for excellence and the highest caliber teachers, but we’re also a community dedicated to fueling the engine of teaching and learning together.

We know finding the right high school is important – now is the time to reflect on what matters to you and what kind of learning community you want to be a part of. Our website will help you get to know the people and values that make Branson special, and provide you with a glimpse at the endless possibilities that a Branson education presents. Take a look around, schedule a visit through Ravenna, and feel free to reach out to our Admissions team any time. 

Registration for all Branson events is required through the Ravenna Hub. If you have not already, please create a Student Profile, find The Branson School in the School Directory, and press “Explore”. Once in our system, you will receive notifications when we plan to open up registration for different admissions events. You can view our important dates as well as our registration openings on our Apply page.

We are excited to hear from you!

2023-24 Admissions Season Updates

We are excited to be kicking off our admissions season to welcome the Class of 2028 to Branson! There will be many opportunities for your family to get to know our community, programs, and philosophy – everything that makes Branson special! 

One change we want to bring to your attention: Once again, Branson will not require or accept standardized test scores as part of the application process for the 2023-2024 admissions season. We maintain a holistic approach when evaluating each applicant, and testing is merely one component of this complex process. 

Please feel free to contact us at admission@melissa-midwest.net with any questions regarding this year's Admissions process.
