The Process

Six steps to enrollment.

Most families move from first inquiry to first day in three to six weeks. We'll guide you through every step - there's no part of this you have to figure out alone.

  1. Inquire

    Send us a quick note with your child's name, current grade, and what you're looking for. We'll respond within one business day with next steps and answer any early questions.

    Estimated time: 5 minutes
  2. Visit campus

    Tour the school during a regular school day. You'll see real classrooms, meet teachers, and observe how Qur'an, Arabic, and academics fit together. Bring your child - we love when they come along.

    Tuesdays & Thursdays, by appointment
  3. Complete the application

    Submit the family application along with the application fee. The form covers basic family information, your child's school history, and a few open questions about your goals.

    Estimated time: 25 minutes
  4. Send supporting records

    Forward immunization records, the birth certificate, and (for grades 1+) the two most recent report cards, any standardized test results, and a teacher recommendation. See the checklist below.

  5. Family conversation

    Once the file is complete, you'll meet with the admissions team and a member of school leadership. We'll talk about fit on both sides - your hopes for your child, and how we can support them academically and spiritually.

    About 45 minutes
  6. Decision & enrollment

    We aim to send a decision within two weeks of a complete file. Once admitted, you'll secure your seat with the enrollment deposit and join us for new-family orientation before the first day.

Step 3

Records review

We review the full file within two weeks of receiving every document.

Step 4

Family conversation

A 45-minute meeting with the admissions team and school leadership.

Step 5

Decision & deposit

Admitted families secure their seat with the enrollment deposit.

Step 6

Orientation & first day

New-family orientation in August, followed by the first day of school.

Tuition

An investment in your child.

Tuition at Renaissance reflects the real cost of small classes, accredited academics, and a faith-rich program - and we work to keep it accessible.

How pricing is shared: we walk every family through current tuition, the FACTS monthly payment plan, sibling considerations, and any one-time fees during the family conversation. You'll have the full picture before you're asked to commit.

Payment plan

FACTS monthly autopay

Spread annual tuition across the school year with automatic monthly payments through FACTS - the same provider many private schools use.

Multiple children

Sibling considerations

Families with more than one child enrolled receive an adjustment on each additional sibling. We'll talk through the specifics during your visit.

What's included

Beyond classroom hours

Tuition covers daily Qur'an & Islamic Studies, Arabic, all core academic subjects, and access to AP coursework in high school. Books, supplies, and lunch are billed separately.

Common Questions

You asked, we answered.

The questions families ask us most often - if yours isn't here, send a quick note and we'll get back the same day.

Do we need to be Muslim to apply?
Renaissance is a full-time Islamic school, and Qur'an & Islamic Studies are part of every day. Most of our families are Muslim, but we welcome conversations with any family who is genuinely interested in our program and what we teach. The best way to know if we're the right fit is to visit.
What does a typical school day look like?
Days begin with morning du'a and a short reflection, then move into core academics in the morning block (math, science, ELA, social studies). Qur'an, Arabic, and Islamic Studies are woven across the day - not tacked on at the end. Lunch, recess, and Dhuhr prayer happen together. Afternoons include electives, projects, and PE depending on grade.
How is Qur'an integrated into the curriculum?
Qur'an is a daily class with dedicated teachers, not a side subject. Students at each level work on tajweed, memorization, and meaning at a pace that suits them. Many of our graduates leave with substantial portions of the Qur'an memorized - but more importantly, with a relationship to it they carry into adulthood.
Is financial assistance available?
We make every effort to work with families whose circumstances make full tuition difficult. Bring it up early - during your tour or family conversation - and we'll walk through what's possible together. Please don't decide against applying because of cost without talking to us first.
What's the dress code?
Students wear school uniforms, with specifics by grade level. Full uniform requirements live in Parent Resources → - admitted families also get a printable shopping list and supplier links.
Can my child start mid-year?
Yes, if there's a seat in your child's grade. Mid-year transfers follow the same process - inquiry, tour, application, records, family conversation - and we can usually move quickly when the file is complete. Reach out and we'll tell you honestly what's open.
How big are the classes?
We deliberately keep classes small enough that teachers know every student well. Exact section sizes vary by grade and year - we'll share current numbers during your tour so you can see firsthand.
Is lunch provided?
Most students bring lunch from home. We offer a hot-lunch option on select days through our food-service partner - sign-ups happen at the start of each semester. All food served on campus is halal.
