- Complete the Application and the Parent Questionnaire and return the forms with a $75 non-refundable fee.
- Applicants for grades 4-11 should complete the Student Questionnaire.
- Sign the Student Record Release and take it to the principal or registrar of your child's current school and ask that copies of his/her academic and behavioral records, including transcripts and any available standardized test scores, be mailed directly to the RIS Admissions Office.
- Candidates for grades K-1 and grades 2-5 should take the Teacher Recommendation Form to the child's classroom teacher. Candidates for grades 6-12 should take forms to current math and English teachers. Ask that the forms be completed and mailed directly to the RIS Admissions Office.
- When the file is complete the RIS Admissions Office will contact you to schedule an interview with the Director of Admissions and with the Division Director and to schedule an all day classroom visit for your child. Kindergarten applicants will be scheduled for a special Saturday morning assessment (please see Kindergarten Application Schedule for details).
- When all the visits and interviews are completed and the school has received all records requests, the Admissions Committee will review the file at the next scheduled meeting. The applicant will then be notified of their admission status.
