We host a number of Admission Open House events (in-person and virtual) for parents and caregivers throughout the school year. We can also schedule individual tours at 9:00 am on a school day that fits best with your schedule. We invite you to learn more about our Preschool, Elementary and Upper Elementary Programs. Please contact us to inquire about space we have available for the 2026-2027 school year. We look forward to meeting you and your children!
Contact our Admission Team to walk you through the admission process and get you scheduled for a tour or admission event.

We use the Ravenna system to help manage the admission steps, starting with your initial interest in The River School for your child. Submitting an initial Inquiry Form through the Ravenna System will help us create a smooth process for you. Please note: the Inquiry Form is not an application.
Register today for our April 27 Admission Open House!
