Let’s get started together.

5 easy steps:

We will be with you at every step, ready to answer your questions.

STEP 1:

Tour

Take a group or private tour so we can show you around, answer your questions, and communicate applicable scholarship opportunities.

  • If you are unable to tour, you may apply before you tour or shadow in order to take advantage of the application fee waiver offered in late winter.
  • Have your student shadow on select days by contacting our office at admission@rbcs.org.
  • If you will be applying for in house RBCS Tuition Assistance, please do so at the same time as applying for admission to the school.

STEP 2:

Apply Here

Please email the Office of Admission to discover what limited seating is currently available.  Applications for 23/24 are accepted until Nov 1.

Submission of application does not guarantee processing of that application.  Applications may be processed for Wait Pool acceptance.

Applications may be deferred based on the number of current applicants vs. available seating.  If your application is deferred, we will actively monitor your status without processing your application.  Applications can be moved by the Office of Admission out of deferred status to active status until Nov 1.  Applicant Families will be notified of their status upon submission as well as monthly updates.
