Redeemer School - Admissions Process

Redeemer School is a community of like-minded families committed to nurturing students in their relationship with Jesus Christ and engaging them in the life-long pursuit of wisdom and knowledge as they discover, embrace and integrate God's truth in all of life.

It is our desire to partner with parents to meet the academic, social and spiritual needs of their children. The enrollment process is important because both the school and parents want what is best for a child. Current class structure, class size, academic standing, and learning needs are all considerations that help determine the best fit between the family, the student and the school. If at any time the Admissions Team determines that it is not able to recommend enrollment, the family will be notified so they may pursue other school options for their child.

Redeemer School offers a ROOTS Learning Resource Program to provide extra support, services, and/or modifications for students who need these interventions. At this time we recommend contacting us to inquire prior to application, if your child has an existing IEP or if you believe this may apply to your child.

Open Enrollment for the 2021-2022 school-year will begin on November 1st. "Round One" applications may be received any time between November 1st and January 31st.

(Please note that TK is recommended for students who are already old enough for Kindergarten but who would benefit from "the gift of time" to wait another year before beginning Kindergarten, and for students who are turning 5 years old by Dec. 31st. All other grades follow the birth date guideline of Winston-Salem Forsyth County Schools.)

How to Apply

Applying is easy using our Online Application. We encourage families to apply online as it simplifies submission and provides parents a tool for tracking online the status of their admission after their application has been submitted. A non-refundable fee of $50 must be submitted with each application.
