Apply Online

Interested families should create a new student account and submit a one-time interest form and a $60 fee, all via Brightwheel, to join the waiting pool.

Fall Waiting Pool Window: August-October
Spring Waiting Pool Window: April-May

Please note: submission of this form and fee do not guarantee admission to our program. Forms can be submitted outside the waiting pool windows, but will not be processed until those times.

Attend a Playdate if Scheduled

Playdates are scheduled until all open spots are filled. Playdates will be scheduled from November through January (except for children under 18 months as of August of the next school year).

Enrollment Decision

Complete enrollment paperwork if offered enrollment.

If we are unable to offer enrollment at this time, your child will remain in the waiting pool for a potential spot for the following school year, unless the family asks to be removed.

Important Notice

If the desired classroom is at capacity or the admissions committee has determined that Rise is unable to serve your child’s needs, families can reapply the following year for the upcoming school year.

Admissions decisions are typically made in the spring after re-enrollment packets of current families have been submitted.

The Rise School of Austin does not discriminate on the basis of race, national and ethnic origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, or any other identity in its admissions and all other educational, programming, and administrative policies, and provides reasonable accommodations to ensure full and equal access for people with disabilities.
