Secondary School Placement at RCS

The week before Spring Break is when our 8th and 9th grade students, who are applying to secondary schools, receive their letters of notification from where they applied over the winter.

Rippowam Cisqua students continue to find themselves in an increasingly competitive placement process. Their profiles are being evaluated against an incredibly talented pool of local applicants from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut for day schools, and against a global pool for boarding schools.
 
While admissions officers stress that the academic preparation, confidence, intellectual curiosity, and willingness to engage in all areas of school life make RCS students stand out in the admissions process, they are also quick to point out that our children’s ability to demonstrate their capacity for leadership is a real point of difference.
 
Page Vincent, our Director of Placement, and Ridley Sperling, our Associate Director of Placement, the faculty, and other members of the administration work closely with families to help our students find the secondary school that will be the right fit for each child. RCS is pleased to share that the following schools have accepted members of the Classes of 2015 & 2016. An asterisk denotes that more than one student was accepted at that school.
