Your Impact

Because of you, we can give students the personalized experiences they need to nurture their innate curiosity, foster character development, and guide them in becoming independent global citizens who can confidently forge their own paths.

Your gift ensures that every graduate leaves here with a sense of purpose and responsibility. Their confidence and independence will give them the courage to discover their passions, express their creativity, and maintain a growth mindset.

Your gift powers the people, tools, and technology needed for students to thrive. 2024-25 tuition covers 85% of the cost to educate each child at Rippowam Cisqua School. The difference between tuition and the actual cost is called “the Gap.” When we successfully meet “the Gap” — your child directly benefits from enhanced programming that creates once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

Starting in PreKindergarten, every experience your child has will shape how they view themselves and the world. Our faculty and staff have one goal — to ensure each child loves coming to school so they can learn, laugh, play, and feel welcomed in the RCS community.
