Thank you for considering RHNS

We will be accepting applications for the 26-27 school year
beginning August 1, 2025.

Get to know us better

At RHNS, we start our introduction to the school with a virtual tour via Zoom. The tour lasts approximately 40 minutes and offers a unique perspective of the school, from First Step through our fours program. The virtual tour is offered one-on-one, so there is plenty of opportunity to ask questions and clarify how we can meet your family's needs. Virtual tours begin in mid-September and can be scheduled starting September 15th.

You are also invited to attend our open house on Wednesday, October 8, at 6:30 PM at First Step (395 Round Hill Road). You will tour the First Step facility and meet parents whose children are currently enrolled. More information to come mid-September.
