If you are interested in having your child attend Rye City Schools as a non-resident, tuition-paying student, you must complete the Pre-Admittance Application below.  Tuition for non-residents for the 2023-2024 school year is as follows: for Grades K-5: $22,090 and for Grades 6-12: $27,633 and is set in May for the following year.

A student withdrawing or transferring should make an appointment at the appropriate school to complete the necessary forms. This should be done at least two days prior to departure to ensure that all necessary signatures are obtained and that all school-owned books and materials are returned. No transcripts will be released or forwarded to the student’s new school until all books and materials are either returned or paid for.

These instructions apply exclusively to parents of non-resident, school-age CSE, or CSE Referral students who are parentally-placed in a Rye private school (Resurrection or Rye Country Day School.)
