Financial Aid
We also recognize that Independent school education is expensive. Park offers approximately $5.1 million annually in need-based financial aid. We encourage you to consider Park whether or not you can afford the entire tuition. All financial assistance at Park is based on need: the difference between the family's resources and the child's total educational expenses.
Our need-based financial aid supports students across all grades PreK-8, and we make that commitment to families for their entire Park journey.
Our tuition assistance program extends to financial aid for after-school programming, enrichment programming, transportation, and Academic Support. We want your family to be welcomed and supported to fully engage in all of the offerings at Park.
