Upon admission, students are provided with a learning program based on their readiness and maturity. Promotion to a higher grade or retention in a lower grade is basedon a student's ability and achievement. When necessary, teachers, administrators, and parents meet to discuss concerns regarding grade level placement. Before applying for admission, parents of students who have special learning needs will need to consult with RBIS to be sure the school can accommodate for your child.
