Admissions
Welcome
Welcome to Admissions!
We're so excited that you are getting to know Redwood Day!
We look forward to meeting your family, introducing you to Redwood Day's curriculum, program, and community, and supporting your family and your child through the admissions process.
Our website is a great starting point in this journey. As you read through the website, we encourage you to complete our online inquiry form.
We understand that the very best way to experience our dynamic, challenging, and welcoming school is to visit us in person. We will have continue to host some of our events online, but there will also be several opportunities to visit us in person. Our inquiry form will include online scheduling for all Admissions events. Of course, you can always call or email us for help along the way.
During our time together, we look forward to getting to know your family as you work to find the right match, experience, and place for your child(ren) to grow into great. In the meantime, please enjoy the video below to get a student's perspective of some of the things they like about Redwood Day.
Warmly,
Donnie Smith, Director of Admissions
Darlene Bell-Carson, Director of Tuition Assistance & Associate Director of Admissions
