How to Apply

 

Admission FAQs

When is the application due?

All family application materials must be submitted through our Ravenna account by January 15 in order to receive an admission decision on March 10. It is highly recommended that you begin the application process as early as October. Although the majority of our openings are filled by candidates who follow this traditional admissions calendar, we invite families to inquire for entrance to all grades throughout the spring and summer.

When do most students come to Park?

We enroll students for two sections of 14 in PreK and grow to four sections of 14-15 in Kindergarten. We typically grow to 60 students in Grades 1-4, and we have flexibility to admit additional students in Grade 6-8.

Do applicants to Prekindergarten and Kindergarten require prior school experience?

Yes. All applicants to PreK and Kindergarten must be in a preschool or pre-kindergarten program at the time of application.

We recognize that our campus is very large and our youngest students must transition to different locations during the day. It has been our experience that children with previous school experience have an easier time going from one activity to the next.

If my child is placed in a waiting pool, and no openings become available, do we have to reapply?

Yes, if your child has been placed in our wait pool for a particular academic year, they must reapply in any subsequent year, as critical information such as teacher recommendations must be updated.

Does Park offer I-20 visas to international students?

No. The Park School does not offer I-20 visas but does welcome applications from families who have relocated internationally and currently hold visas.

Do students come from a limited number of schools?

No. Park receives applicants from a wide array of schools throughout the Boston metropolitan area. The families at Park represent over 30 different cities, towns, and communities.
