At RPDS, we recognize the importance and challenge of choosing the best educational setting for your child. We are dedicated to providing you with valuable and helpful information to guide you in this very important decision for your child.

Our admission process begins with a personal tour of our campus; whereby you will have the opportunity to observe our teachers and children engaged in the learning process and have your questions answered.

Our admission packet contains a View Book which includes our application, tuition schedule, academic offerings and other valuable materials to assist you in discovering the distinctive qualities of a Riverside education. Please contact the admission office at (904) 353-3459 or sign up online to request a packet.
