After submitting Part 1, an email will be sent to you with further instructions. Please follow the directions outlined in the email to complete the registration process. Please note, you must follow the directions outlined in the follow-up email to complete the registration process. Prior to contacting your child's school, please reference this document for items needed to satisfy the Proof of Residency requirement for enrollment.

If you are registering an elementary school student who needs to attend a school other than the one assigned, please complete the out-of-zone request form.

Both forms should be returned to the school requested to be reviewed and signed by the principal. The superintendent has final approval.

If you have any questions, please contact your child’s school for assistance.

Registration for Non-resident Students

Children who live outside of Goochland County and were approved non-resident students last year, may attend Goochland County Public Schools (GCPS) by payment of tuition. Tuition is as follows:

  • SY 2024-2025: $5,000 per student for year. Tuition for Goochland County Employees is $1,000 per year.

  • SY 2025-2026: $6,000 per student for year. Tuition for Goochland County Employees is $1,200 per year.

  • There is no charge for GCPS staff.

Due to a phase-out of the program, no new non-resident student applications will be accepted.

Payments for tuition may be made over the ten months school is in session or in lump sum. Checks should be payable to Goochland County Public Schools and mailed or delivered to 2938 River Road West, Building I, P.O. Box 169, Goochland, VA 23063.

You must provide your own transportation to and from school.

There is an application process for non-resident students. The SY 2025-2026 application can be downloaded here (Español). Completed applications are first approved by the school principal. Transcripts may be requested at the time of application. Once approved by the principal, the application is then forwarded to the Superintendent for review and final approval. This process must be completed on an annual basis prior to the start of school.

Please refer to School Board Policies JEC and JEC-R for additional information regarding non-resident students and tuition.
