Admissions Process

Below are the steps in our admissions process. Please allow up to two weeks for processing after all outside referrals have been received.

Complete the application and turn in all required documents. Note: The application will be placed on hold until all documents are received. Important: Applications submitted after August 1st may not be guaranteed a spot or a start date by the beginning of the school year.

Parkway offers a Tuition Assistance program to support families demonstrating financial need. Awards typically range from $500 to $2,000 per child per year, depending on individual circumstances. We are committed to making a Parkway education possible for your family. Explore our tuition rates and learn more about the financial aid options available to your family.

Once complete, the application will be reviewed by the school administration.

Testing may be scheduled based on the student's grade level or other factors.

If all requirements are met, a family interview will be scheduled with all family members.

Following the interview, accepted families will receive an enrollment link to complete the process.
