Admission is on a voluntary basis. Students can self-refer or be referred by parents, teachers or health care professionals. Our Admissions team will work with you to determine if Pine River is a suitable program for your family’s needs. It is important to us that you make the right decision.

The first step is to complete the Admissions Inquiry. Once we have received this form, the Admissions Director will contact you about next steps. Our admissions process includes a detailed application package and interviews.

Information for US applicants is available here.
