Non-Discrimination Policy: Renaissance School admits students of any race, color, gender identity, sex, sexual orientation, nationality, marital status, disability, age, religion, or ethnicity in the administration of its educational policies, scholarship programs, hiring and admissions policies, financial aid program, or any other programs administered by the school.

Step 2. Application and support materials

The application consists of three parts:

The presentation portion of the student interview is an opportunity to share something that the student is passionate about and inspired by, or that we wouldn’t know from looking at transcripts. The student should bring presentation materials to the interview and has the option to email the Director of Admissions ahead of time.

Additional support materials include current school transcripts with other related documents, and two letters of recommendation. Renaissance School will contact schools for these documents.

Step 3. Interviews

The student will interview with the Head of School and Director of Admissions during their visit. This interview is as much a time to ask questions as it is to answer them!

Once application materials are received, Renaissance School will contact the parents to arrange a meeting with the Head of School and the Dean of Academics. In this meeting, parents can discuss what a Renaissance School education would look like for their child specifically.

Tuition & Tuition Assistance

Attending a school that charges tuition may seem beyond reach, especially if applying to that school is an unplanned event. We encourage families to apply anyway! We offer tuition assistance, and we are actively growing our scholarship programs. At Renaissance School, tuition is an investment. Renaissance School students have been offered, on average, over $200,000 per student in college scholarships and ‘gift money’ upon graduation.
