Admissions Admissions Process

Preschool (Infants-5s)
Children are placed developmentally in Infants-5s classrooms. Infants must be 8 weeks of age by September 1 to begin at Riverfield. The main enrollment phase occurs in the spring when enrollment is processed for summer and the upcoming school year. After re-enrollment by current Riverfield families, available spaces are filled from the waiting list. Families are placed on the waiting list by completing a waiting list form and paying a portion of the registration fee. Families are called in priority order by date received to fill available spaces. Occasionally, spaces open up during the year that will be filled from the waiting list.

Kindergarten – 12th Grade
Admission is based on a combination of criteria such as the student’s educational history, personal interview and a visit during a school day. We also rely on our intuition that the individual is genuinely motivated to succeed and will benefit from the Riverfield experience. No one factor is more important than another. Our main concern is success for the student.

After an initial tour and interview, students spend a day visiting Riverfield in the regular classroom environment. The parents sign a Transcript Release Form to request transcripts and records from the candidate’s current school. Once students are accepted, Riverfield may ask that a placement test be taken for certain courses.
