Visit Day + Parent Information Session Required
Student: Once an application to RPCS is received, you will receive an email with a link to register for a Visit Day. All applicants to grades 9-12 are required to attend a a Student Visit Day where they will attend classes with an RPCS student hostess, meet other students, teachers, the Upper School Division Head and additional members of our community.  Applicants will also be interviewed by a member of the Upper School Admissions Committee on their Visit Day.

• What to wear: Comfortable attire. If you have a school uniform, you can wear it — many visitors do. 
• What to bring: You do not need to bring any school materials with you. Bring any medications/inhalers that may be needed over course of your visit. We will also let the nurse know of medical concerns.
• Lunch: Snack and lunch are provided. If you feel more comfortable bringing your own lunch, you may — but our Dining Hall has amazing food!

Parents and Guardians: Parents and guardians will be interviewed on campus the morning of their daughters’ Visit Day by a member of the RPCS Administrative Team, participate in a student-led tour of the school, and join a group discussion with our Head of School, Caroline Blatti, and Upper School Head, Colleen Kyle, along with current students and parents. If you are unable to join us the day your daughter is visiting, please contact the Admissions Office to schedule another time to visit campus for your interview: info@rpcs.org.
