Your journey with us can begin at any time.
Our school is open to every child, regardless of their prior experience or level of preparation.
We believe that every child carries a spark of talent — all it needs is the right environment to flourish.
In an atmosphere of kindness, encouragement, and inspiration, children gain confidence, develop a love of learning, think freely, and grow as individuals.
We don’t divide children into “gifted” and “not gifted” — we simply help each one become the best version of themselves.

Every Child is Welcome
The Process
Step 1: Start by getting in touch with us
-
Send us an email at ruskidshouse@gmail.com
-
Or call us at (703) 435-2784
We’ll be happy to answer all your questions.
Step 2: (from link) Schedule a personal tour
We invite parents — ideally with their child — to visit our school for a personal tour.
You’ll see our classrooms and learning spaces, observe the atmosphere, ask questions to our teachers, and get a real feel for the spirit of our school.
Step 3: (from link) Submit Your Application
If, after the tour and reviewing our programs, you feel that our school is the right fit for your child, we’ll invite you to begin the application process.
The registration form can be filled out right after your visit, or we can send it to you by email if you prefer to complete it at home.
We won’t ask for unnecessary information — only what’s essential to help your child get started comfortably.
Step 4: (from link) Trial Day
If we believe your child will feel comfortable in our environment, we will invite them to spend a full school day with us. This is a wonderful opportunity for your child to experience the atmosphere, meet potential classmates and teachers, and for us to better understand their personality and interests.
We welcome children of all backgrounds, skill levels, and language abilities.
