Attend an information session

Choosing the right school is a big decision, and Riverview is here to support you every step of the way. We’ve designed our admissions process to be a thoughtful and personalized experience for both students and their families. After each step listed below, our Admissions Team will reach out to guide you to the next stage.

Step 1

Connect with Riverview

The first step in your Riverview journey is to reach out to our Admissions Team and/or fill out an inquiry form. This is a great way to get to know us, and find out what to expect as you move forward through the application process. We also invite families to attend an in-person information session at the start of their application journey. These sessions offer a great opportunity to learn more about Riverview and ask questions in a relaxed, informative setting. Please note that these sessions are intended for families and guardians only; students should not attend.
