Schedule Admissions Testing
Students applying for grades 9-12 are required to take the Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE) or the High School Placement Test (HSPT)*. RPCS will host ISEE testing on Saturday, November 21, 2026 and Saturday, January 9, 2027 from 9 a.m. to 12 pm. To register for the ISEE testing, click here.
If the RPCS testing dates are inconvenient for you, you may sign up for testing at another school, a Prometric center, or ISEE at Home. Please be sure to add RPCS’s ISEE school code 210180 for us to receive the scores.
*We require the ISEE if your daughter is an applicant for the Janet Bauer Hartman Scholarship.
RPCS will need to receive ISEE or HSPT scores on or before January 15, 2027.
Request Common School Referral Forms
Submit the Common School Referral Forms to your daughter’s current school to be completed by her teachers and emailed (records@rpcs.org) or mailed directly to the RPCS Admissions Office. We require Common School Referral Forms from her current English and math teachers.
Please complete after November 15, 2026 but before January 15, 2027.
Request School Transcript
Submit an Authorization Form to your daughter’s current school for the release of school records/transcripts. The forms are to be sent directly to RPCS via mail or email (records@rpcs.org) from her current school.
Please submit after December 15, 2026 but before January 15, 2027.
Apply for Tuition Assistance
Investing in your daughter’s education is one of the most important decisions a family can make. It’s not only a commitment to her academic success, but also to her personal growth, confidence, and future opportunities.
At Roland Park Country School, we recognize that this decision often comes with a significant financial commitment, and we are deeply committed to partnering with families to make an RPCS education attainable.
Please reach out to Jaleh Goodale at goodalej@rpcs.org for information regarding tuition assistance.
