Admissions Process and Requirements

Application

The admissions process officially begins with the submission of a completed application for enrollment and a $50 non-refundable application fee. Current immunization record and birth certificate, previous School records for students applying for grades 1-9, and teacher recommendations are required prior to testing and interview.

School Tour

All applicants and their parents/guardians should visit the School. This important part of the admissions process allows the School and family to become better acquainted. School tours are scheduled by appointment.

Admissions Testing

Students applying for grades 1-9 are given a basic entrance assessment. Early Childhood applicants (Preschool, Junior Kindergarten and Kindergarten) must complete a group observation prior to acceptance. Contact the Admissions Office at 435.649.2791 to register for testing or observation appointments. Please allow an hour for the scheduled Early Childhood observation, and one to two hours for the assessment for grades 1-9.

Family Interview

Applicants and parents will interview with the Head of School and appropriate Division Director.  The interview is scheduled after the admissions testing. This interview is an opportunity for parents to ask questions and for the School to get to know the family better.

Campus Visit

We encourage prospective students to spend a day with their prospective classes. This visit is at no obligation and gives the student and family a good idea of the culture of Park City Day School.  Visits should be scheduled in advance with the Admissions Office at 435.649.2791.

Admissions Summary

Each qualified child will be admitted on a space available basis. Current students will receive preference for available space during the re-enrollment period. Beginning in March, after the re-enrollment period, new applicants will be offered space in classes with vacancies. Park City Day School reserves the right to accept students at its sole discretion.  Applicants will not be considered until all the requirements have been completed.
