Please Note: If you are a current TRS family, or if you have previously submitted an inquiry, you do not need to complete this step again.
Step 2: Complete Admissions Application Form
In this section, you'll be asked to submit student and family demographic information, a parent questionnaire, and information on the applicant's personality and character. The final step of the application form is paying the non-refundable application fee of $100 (per child).

Step 3: Attend an Elementary Information Session and Campus Tour
We believe it is critical that families come to know our school and mission before making a commitment. All prospective families will be required to attend an information session for the 2025-2026 admissions season. The Raleigh School admissions office will offer both in-person and virtual information sessions which will begin October 2024 and go through December 2024 ( See additional details below). Registration for our information sessions and campus tours will open in mid-September. 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 13. During classroom visits, applicants will attend class for two full school-days, and they will be asked to participate in activities to the best of their ability.
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
