Enrollment Priorities
Enrollment is limited at the prep school and is based on class size, space, and personnel. The St. Kitts government rules and regulations do not permit students who are citizens of the Federation to be admitted to the prep school.
Priority will be given to students as described below.
Daycare/Preschool/Pre-Kindergarten
Priority I
All children and legal dependents of RUSVM faculty and students of one-parent families will be accepted.
Priority II
Children and legal dependents of RUSVM faculty and students in two-parent families where one parent is not a student or faculty member at Ross.
Priority III
Children and legal dependents of RUSVM staff members, as long as they have a foreign passport and provided their acceptance would enhance the overall school environment.
Priority IV
Other children as determined by the superintendent.
Kindergarten through Grade 8 and Online HS Students
Priority I
All children and legal dependents of RUSVM faculty and students will be accepted, provided the child does not have challenges that cannot be met at the prep school. The superintendent will make the final decision.
Priority II
Children and legal dependents of RUSVM staff members will be considered as long as they have a foreign passport and provided their acceptance would enhance the overall school environment.
Priority III
Children not connected to Ross University who can satisfactorily demonstrate the need for a US-style curriculum. Documentation could include records showing the student has come from a US school and/or information stating they will be transferring to a school with a US curriculum. Acceptance is totally at the discretion of the superintendent and will be dependent upon space, teachers, grade level, welfare of the student population, and any other factors deemed appropriate. Siblings of currently enrolled students will be considered first within this category. New applicants transferring from a recognized international school will have the next priority within this category.
