admission

Our top priority is to ensure our school is the right fit for your child so we ask that you first review RCS's Participation Readiness guidelines. We aim to be clear about our program and what families can expect from us. We strive to build a community where students are supported to learn, grow, and thrive in a safe, nurturing environment. Please take the following steps to begin the admission process:

Step 1: Explore the website to learn about our program, and review our Participation Readiness statement (below) to ensure that RCS is a good match for your child's needs.

Step 2: Complete the application form and pay a one-time, non-refundable application fee of $98.

Step 3: Schedule a tour by calling or texting school's main phone number: (916) 304-4774.

Step 4: Schedule an appointment for your child to experience the magic of a trial class.

Step 5: For Core Program students, schedule a 20-30 minute meeting with teacher to go over your student's academic and social-emotional history, skills, strengths and any areas of challenge.

Step 6: Upon acceptance into the program, start date is determined and contract is signed. 

Participation Readiness

At RCS, we prioritize the social, emotional, and academic development of our students. We strive to create an open and safe environment that encourages independence and creativity. Our unique philosophy and setting require an age-appropriate level of self-regulation and participation readiness to ensure that all students can grow, learn, and thrive in a secure and supportive environment. 

Please review the list below to ensure that your student is ready to participate at RCS. We understand that any child may have an “off day.” However, we expect that for most of the time, RCS students are capable of and willing to:

• Separate from caretaker(s) in order to participate

• Follow teacher’s direction

• Respond to challenging situations without resorting to physical violence or verbal aggression.

• Independently transition between activities and adapt to minor changes in routines

• Perform tasks without constant one-on-one adult support

• Stay with the class/refrain from wandering off

• Dress, use the restroom, and wash hands independently

• Voice needs or concerns to get support

If your child has any special needs or you have any concerns about your child's readiness for participation in our program, please contact us.
