Additional expenses may include books, athletic fees, trips, and graduation, depending on division.
A Park education is an important investment in your child's future. In order to support that investment, Park provides a number of tuition payment options.
Payment Plans
- Full Payment (one payment, due August 1, 2011)
- Normal Schedule (two payments, 70% by August 1, 2011, 30% by January 3, 2012)
- Advance Twelve-Month Schedule (twelve equal monthly payments; billed beginning in April 2011, due beginning in May 2011)
Financial Assistance
Families with children entering grades 1-12 may apply for funding through our Financial Assistance Program. Financial assistance funds do not need to be repaid.
In 2010, approximately 19% of Park students in grades 1-12 receive over $2.7 million in financial assistance with grants that range from $2,250 to full tuition plus supplemental funding. Tuition remission for children of our faculty brings that total to 27% of the student body.

Important policies
- Admission decisions are made without regard to financial need. Decisions about financial assistance are made separately.
- Financial assistance is only available for students applying for admission to Grades 1-12. Families interested in Kindergarten who require financial assistance must wait to apply for admission to Grade 1 when we will be able to consider the request.
- Decisions about financial assistance are influenced by availability of funds, the number of applicants, and institutional needs.
- Park recognizes each family's financial commitment upon enrollment. Unless there is an unanticipated, and/or significant change in circumstances, families are expected to maintain at least their initial level of contribution in future years.

Annual Giving
As with most independent schools, Park's operating budget exceeds our revenue from tuition. We depend greatly on our parents, alumni, and friends for voluntary support.
All families including those participating in the Financial Assistance Program are encouraged to contribute to Park School Annual Giving. Each contribution helps to support our many programs including Financial Assistance.
