At Park Street School, we endeavor to make the opportunity available for an excellent Christian education to all qualified students regardless of financial circumstance or income. Financial Assistance is available for Pre-K through Grade 6, with limited availability for Preschool. Our commitment is, whenever possible, to meet each family’s need as determined by the Clarity Application for Financial Aid. Once we commit financial assistance to a family, parents can expect that commitment to continue at Park Street School based on continued need and available funds.
Financial assistance is awarded based solely on demonstrated need and not on academic merit, although students must meet basic benchmarks for their appropriate grade levels. Families seeking financial assistance must fill out an application online at Clarity Application for Financial Aid. Clarity will send the results to our school. While our commitment remains to assist families throughout the education of their child(ren), families must re-apply for aid each academic year. Each year, parents will also be asked to submit current tax forms for final decisions to be made by the Financial Aid Committee. The process and subsequent awards are completely confidential. It is imperative that applications and tax forms be submitted by the deadline to be considered to receive available funds.
