Apply
The Admissions Office would love to welcome you to campus and will be offering in-person tours starting in early October. We are here to answer your questions and connect you with the RCS community in educational and interactive ways.
We are now welcoming applications for students entering PreKindergarten through Grade 9.
We appreciate the time and attention our families give to finding the best educational environment for their children. Visits and interviews help families learn more about the program and provide a unique opportunity for us to get to know your family. The Admissions team is always available to offer guidance or answer any questions you may have along the way.
We encourage you to start the process early, so you have ample time to schedule school visits, assessment appointments, and interviews, and to consult with our expert team of Admissions professionals as you go through the application process.
