Our admissions process is designed to get to know you and your family. Together, we explore the possibilities for you at Ridley College, and find out whether our school is the right fit for your education.
Your admissions process begins with your application. After it is submitted, you will liaise with a member of the Admissions team, who will review your profile, share further information, arrange visits, answer questions and determine if Ridley is right for you. Our approach is specifically designed to help us understand each candidate as an individual student. We understand that there may be unique circumstances that require flexibility and we adapt to accommodate for these where possible.
Please check this site often for admissions updates or contact our Admissions team with any questions.

Your Guide To A Successful Admissions Interview
I was immediately impressed with how quickly the school got in touch to provide information to help us in the decision-making process. They also accommodated tours and multiple class visits to ensure it was the right school for us. I have noticed how easily [my girls] have adapted to the school, how much more they are learning in the diverse courses and how their social interactions have blossomed.
