Admissions
Welcome
Welcome to Admissions!
Thank you for your interest in learning more about Redwood Day.
We look forward to meeting your family and introducing you to Redwood Day's community, program, and pedagogy and partnering with you through the admissions process.
Our website is a great starting point in this journey. As you read through the website, we welcome you to complete our online inquiry form, and encourage you to sign up for our community events.
We are excited to host families on our beautiful campus, meet prospective Redwood Day students, and share more about how our unique learning environment prepares students for their next challenge, both academically and holistically. We will also hold several virtual opportunities for families to learn more about Redwood Day, but we recommend experiencing the School and community firsthand.
We hope that through our process, you are able to get any questions you might have answered and leave our events with a clear understanding of our program and community. This is a warm and welcoming community that honors the identities of its members and seeks to gain greater understanding through shared learning.
Our Admissions team looks forward to getting to know your family as we partner in identifying whether Redwood Day is the right learning environment and community for your student(s) to Grow Into Great. In the meantime, please enjoy the video below to get our students' perspective on things they love about Redwood Day.
Warmly,
Marsille Reed, Director of Enrollment Management
Arnold Icasiano, Assistant Director of Enrollment Management
