Email Megan Campbell, Director of Admission and Enrollment Management or Lenka Folger, Admission Associate
Contact Megan at 202.380.9206 or Lenka at 202.337.3354 to schedule a call, Zoom meeting or individual parent tour of the campus.
Register for one of our Parent Admission Open House events at 9:00 am on October 5, November 8 or January 8, or for our virtual Lunchtime Chat with River’s Program Architects on December 11 at noon, using the Ravenna System.
- For in-person Parent Admission Open House events (October 5, November 8 or January 8), you can visit our vibrant, theme-based classrooms, engage with teachers, meet administrators and tour the school.
- For our virtual event on December 11, we'll have an interactive presentation and discussion with River's leadership team.
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.

We look forward to meeting you!
