ENROLLMENT
+ Tuition & Scholarships
We can usually accept new students all throughout the school year. We are currently enrolling students ages 5 - 12 (13 and 14 in some cases). Sudbury is a growth journey that is best started as soon as possible.
​If you're excited about a Sudbury education, please call to see if we have space for your student as we work to keep a good age/gender balance in the student body.
OUR ENROLLMENT PROCESS
/01
Understand the Sudbury Model
Familiarize yourself with our school and the unique Sudbury approach to education. Check out our FAQ, videos, and books on our site to learn more.
/02
Schedule a Family Tour
​These Tours are reserved for the WHOLE family (all parents involved in the student's life plus the student themself MUST attend the tour) and will be rescheduled if the whole family is not present.
It's important for everyone to be "on the same page" for such an exciting new approach to learning. If you would just like some initial information, please call us directly.
/03
The Admissions Interview
After a tour, a student and family may then be invited to apply for an Admissions Interview and will be given a link to schedule.
​
During the one hour Admissions Interview, for the first half hour the prospective student will go with students from our Admissions Committee and two Staff members to observe our RJC problem solving session and get to know each other while two other Staff members speak with parents. During the second half hour everyone will meet together to see if our dynamic community with its unique advantages and responsibilities will be a good fit for the student and family.
After the Admissions Interview, if it looks like a good fit, we'll send enrollment paperwork and schedule their start date. If we have already reached maximum enrollment, your child will be placed on our Waiting List.
