Student Application

Admissions Procedure

1. Schedule and complete a campus visit.
2. Schedule an Admissions Test. Ridgewood administers the abbreviated version of the Stanford Achievement Test for students entering grades 1-8, which focuses on the areas of reading, language and math. For children starting Kindergarten, the Kindergarten Intervention & Diagnostic Services (KIDS) test is administered. Test results are reviewed with parents.
3. Complete the Student Application Form.
4. For students entering grades 1-8, request transcripts from your current school.
5. Upon acceptance for enrollment, a $500.00 deposit (credited toward tuition) is required to secure the child’s enrollment in a particular grade. If a family enrolls after June 1 and wishes to pay on a monthly basis, the amount of tuition owed from the beginning of the monthly billing cycles (June 1 or July 1) will be due instead of a $500.00 deposit.
6. If appropriate, complete a financial aid application.
