Enrollment Process
Applications for the 2022-2023 school year are due by March 8, 2022 at 3:30pm PST.
We use a lottery system to determine enrollment, with returning families having first priority. Families who apply by March 8, 2022 will receive their lottery result and class or waitlist position before April 1, 2022. Applications received after March 8, 2022 will be processed on a first come, first served basis, with enrollment status subject to the lottery results, including waitlists.
Step 1. Submit Your Application
To apply for enrollment for the 2022-2023 school year, please complete an application by the March 8, 2022 deadline, and submit it along with the suggested* $35 application fee.
We use a lottery system (random drawing) to determine enrollment. Returning families have first priority enrollment, followed by new families. New openings will be assigned on a first come, first serve basis after the March 8th application deadline.
*Application Fee: The $35.00 is a suggested application fee. All money collected from this fee goes to fund our scholarship program to improve access to all families. The amount you pay in no way affects your chances of enrollment. Pay what you can.Step 2. Notification of Enrollment or Waitlist Status
You will be notified of your enrollment status, either with a class assignment or a position on the waitlist before April 1, 2022.
As openings become available the Enrollment Coordinator will contact families on the waitlist. Our waitlists can change very quickly. You have 48 hours to respond to our Enrollment Coordinator once you have been notified via email and phone regarding a class assignment.
Step 3. Secure Your Spot
For new families, your non-refundable tuition deposit is due within two weeks of acceptance, or April 15, 2022 (whichever is later) to hold your spot. For returning families, your nonrefundable tuition deposit is due June 1, 2022.
If your deposit is not received by these deadlines, you will forfeit your space at RVCP and we will offer it to a family on the waitlist. Your deposit will serve as your June 2023 tuition payment, and can only be applied to an earlier month if you withdraw from the school before May 1, 2023, with at least 30 days notice.
