Step 3: Attend a Virtual Elementary Information/Q&A Session
We believe it is critical that families come to know our school and mission before making a commitment to The Raleigh School. Since we are only offering campus tours on a limited basis, we are requiring all applicants to attend one of our Virtual Information/Q&A Sessions.
These virtual information sessions will begin in October 2021 and go through May 2022. You'll be able to schedule your session during the application process, or you can register on our Admissions Event page.
Step 4: Applicant Visit
In addition to the supporting materials that we collect as part of the application process, we also often invite applicants to a classroom visit. In order for an applicant to be invited for a visit as part of our first-round admissions decisions, families need to submit completed applications by December 27. During classroom visits, applicants will attend class for a full school-day, and they will be asked to participate in activities to the best of their ability.
This year, our admissions committee has decided to limit elementary applicant visits due to Covid-19 mitigation strategies we have in place. Invitations for visits will be made in January and will be based on a number of factors.
Applicants who apply after the initial deadline date will be invited to visit only if there is a possible opening.
Step 5: Submit Supporting Documentation
When you gain access to your admissions portal, you will see an admissions checklist requesting supporting documentation. These items include:
-Birth Certificate
-Confidential Teacher Recommendation(s)
-Latest Progress Report
-Vaccination Records
