At RCDS, we understand that selecting the right educational fit for your child is one of the most important decisions your family will make. To support you in this process, we offer a range of admissions events designed to help you explore our vibrant learning community, connect with our faculty and families, and experience firsthand what makes RCDS truly great. Descriptions of offerings are listed below.
We look forward to getting to know you! If you have any questions, please reach out to Assistant Director of Admission mchoate@rcds.org or 732 842 0527 ext. 1122.
Take a tour on campus. In-person tours allow families to meet directly with a member of our Admission team to observe the students, faculty, and entire RCDS community in action. You'll hear an overview of our excellent academic program, gain an understanding of campus life, and learn more about the admissions process. We offer various time slots to tour our historic campus and experience RCDS firsthand. Please complete an inquiry form to request a tour.
2s-8th Grade Open House
Saturday, October 24 | 9 a.m.
It’s never too early to start thinking about the 2027–2028 school year! Join us to explore campus, interact with our community, and learn more about RCDS!
Attend a Parent Information Session. Our information sessions provide you the opportunity to meet with our Head of Lower School and Early Childhood Center Ms. Prendergast, or Interim Head of Upper School Natalie Diehl, and Mia Choate, Associate Director of Admission and Advancement. They'll provide you with a deeper dive of our outstanding academics and RCDS distinctions. Learn how our small class sizes, personalized curriculum, robust arts, signature traditions, and more help our students excel and thrive during these very formative years. You'll also gain a better understanding of the application process and timeline for applying to independent schools. Info Sessions typically conclude with a Q&A. Please check back often as we sometimes add or modify event dates and times.
