Join the Wait Pool

River Tech School of Performing Arts & Technology

Thank you for your interest in River Tech. Our school is at full capacity, and this form is where new families begin. It takes about five minutes, it is free, and it commits you to nothing.

We ask a handful of real questions because when a seat opens, we want to offer it thoughtfully. If anything on this page raises a question, write to us at learn@rivertech.me.

About your family

Tell us who you are and how we can reach you.

About your children

Tell us about each child you hope to enroll. You can add up to four children here — and if you have more than four, just mention it in the last box of this form.

Program and timing

There is no wrong answer here — this simply helps us know which seats to watch for you.

Our culture

River Tech has a distinct culture, and it matters more than anything else on this form. Please take a few minutes to read Our Culture — it is a plain and honest description of who we are.

Tuition, stated plainly

We believe in telling you what River Tech costs up front, so there are no surprises later. Full-time tuition for 2026–27 is $7,800 per year for five days, or $6,716 for four. À la carte tuition depends on the days you choose — the full table lives on our Tuition page. There is a one-time $250 family enrollment fee, due only when a seat is offered and you accept it. Idaho’s Parental Choice Tax Credit returns up to $5,000 per child ($7,500 for children with special needs), which places River Tech within reach of most families.

Anything else?

This one is entirely optional.

Joining the wait pool does not guarantee a seat, and we will not pretend to know when one will open. What we can promise is honesty: you will hear from us when things change. In the meantime, you are warmly invited to River Tech Days, our concerts, and our productions — waiting is easier when you can watch.
