Enrollment Kindly be advised that we accept online applications only. Please remember that an application alone does not guarantee you a spot in one of our classes. A registration fee is required in order for the enrollment process to be finalized. Please contact us if you have any problems completing the application. Registration Fee Registration Fee is $100. All students, both new and continuing, including those in tutoring, need to register online every academic year and pay the registration fee.

Summer School and Camp Sunapee applicants are not required to pay a registration fee. Tuition The tuition schedule for students who start at the beginning of the school year is available at the enrollment page and is specific to each RSM location. We kindly ask that parents assume responsibility for verifying the correct amount of payment and the schedule of payments. Please note: In an effort to conserve natural resources we no longer send monthly bills or statements. If you receive a statement, this means that your account is already past due and a $20 Late Fee was applied automatically. Please contact RSM accountant to discuss past due accounts. Payments can be made by check or cash. We do not accept credit cards. Checks should be made out to RSM and sent to our school address. If more than one of your children attends RSM, payments can be combined into one check. Each check needs to be clearly marked with student's name(s), class name, and phone number.
