Ross University-School of Medicine Preparatory School
As part of Ross University’s service commitment to the faculty members and enrolled students, Ross offers a United States modeled Daycare Center and Preparatory School for their children.
Ross University Preparatory School (RUPS) is a traditional, independent day school for children of faculty and enrolled students in pre-k through 8th grades. The Preparatory School has incorporated an independent school curriculum that reflects the educational standards in the U.S.
Our Preparatory School prides itself on its curriculum, its small classes, and on the quality of its teachers. The 2008-2009 tuition is $400 USD per semester for medical students and $450 USD per semester for faculty. The tuition cost for non-Ross participants is $2000 USD per semester. The fee is reviewed every July 1st.
School hours are 8:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. with lunch from 12:00-1:00 p.m. Parents are responsible to supervise their children during the lunch break. A recess break occurs each morning at which point children can eat a healthy snack provided by their parents. An after school program is available in the Daycare from 3:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. The cost for this service is $2.50 US per hour.
To assist families with younger children, Ross University Preparatory School also operates a Daycare Center. This program is designed for infants and children up to three years. The Daycare meets US standards in its adult to child ratios. The Day Care Center operates from 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. with the parents providing supervision at lunch from 12:00-1:00 p.m. The cost is $600 USD for full time service and $300 USD for part time participation. A nominal fee is charged if parents wish the Daycare to supply snacks. Parents involved in the part-time program will need to set up the days they use the Daycare in advance.
All children must be registered prior to your arrival on campus to ensure appropriate staffing and class organization. Please email the completed registration form below to enroll your child in either the Prep School or Daycare Center. Be sure to include all necessary information for appropriate grade placement. Payment, previous report card(s) and any pertinent assessment documentation are due on the first day of the semester.
