Our History Timeline
Prospective parents can request information or schedule a campus tour. Open Houses and shadow days let students experience a day at RAS.
Fill out the online application form and submit previous school records. Provide basic information and any letters of recommendation or notes on special needs.
Applicants take age-appropriate assessments in Math and Language. For younger grades this may be informal, and for older grades it may include placement tests. Students also have a short interview (in person or virtual) to discuss their interests and character.
Students applying for the Hifdh Integration Program undergo additional testing. After they meet general criteria, they take a Qur’an recitation exam (tarteel and Tajweed proficiency) and a separate interview with our Islamic Studies faculty. Only candidates who demonstrate readiness for both rigorous memorization and academics are accepted.
Admission decisions are based on a holistic review of test results, academic records, interview feedback, and alignment with our school mission. We look for motivated students and supportive families. Because we emphasize quality, class sizes are kept small; for instance, the Hifdh stream maintains a low student teacher ratio so each student can succeed.
Families receive admission results by email or phone. Accepted students are invited to an orientation and, where applicable, placement into appropriate grade levels or programs.
Submit enrollment forms and tuition deposit to secure your child’s spot. We also offer information on scholarship or financial aid for eligible families.
RAS admits students of all backgrounds (no racial or sectarian discrimination) who are eager
to learn and grow. Our program is co-educational and open from preschool through grade 12.
We encourage early inquiry, as spots—particularly in specialized tracks like Hifdh—can fill
quickly.
Contact the Admissions Office to learn more or start an application. We guide each family
through the process, answering questions about curriculum, values, and student life.
