Yes. Parkmont offers need-based financial aid grants on a first-come, first-served basis. We strive to provide a level of financial aid that precludes any family’s financial situation from being a barrier to admissions. However, the financial aid fund is finite and so the earlier a family applies for aid, the better. For more information, visit the Tuition & Financial Aid section.
Admissions at Parkmont operates on a rolling basis, which means that we accept students as they apply. Priority is given to early applicants and it is recommended that applications be made by the end of March for the following school year, as the number of spaces is limited.
Parkmont does not require any admissions testing. However, if available, parents should submit recent educational testing with the application. Students are given informal writing and math assessments during the visit to the school.
