We are currently accepting applications for the 2025-2026 school year. Applications submitted after January 20 will be considered on a space-available basis. Please contact us if you have questions.

Our admission process reflects our commitment to community by interviewing parents and not focusing solely on the child applying. 
 
Each child’s application is reviewed for grade readiness and for learning differences or needs that Rivendell School may not be equipped to accommodate. We consider sibling priority, alumni status, and gender balance and welcome students from diverse socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds.
 
Application items required:
 
1.  Online Student Application
 
2.  Application fee - $75
If you are applying for more than two children, please contact admissions@rivendellschool.net for waiver of additional application fees. 
 
3.  Confidential Student Recommendation
The Recommendation/Referral Form should be completed by your child’s current teacher. For Kindergarten or homeschooled students, the form should be completed by a non-family member who has worked with your child in a group or classroom setting. You will enter the teacher's name and email address in the application. Once you submit your application, the requested form will be sent directly to the teacher.
 
4.  Most recent two years' report cards (grades 2-8 applicants) or Kindergarten report card (grade 1 applicants)
Homeschooled students should submit a description of their current curriculum and a recent student writing sample.
