1. Documents: You will have a chance to upload important documents, including any testing, evaluations, and IEP/504 plan. Any testing or documentation you provide will further help us evaluate appropriateness of fit and efficacy of our interventions.
2. Teacher Evaluations: We require two separate evaluations. We prefer to have an evaluation completed by the language arts and math teacher, but will accept other teachers if necessary. If you homeschool, you can complete one for both subjects. You will provide the contact information for the two teachers in the online application. To protect privacy and confidentiality, the Park Academy Admission Office will then send the form directly to the teachers, who will return the form directly to us.

After reviewing an application, your student may then be scheduled for a 2 hour tour and assessment. This assessment is not meant to be diagnostic and will determine if our interventions will be effective, evaluate academic fit with our current population, and determine next steps. From there, your student may then be scheduled for a shadow visit, where your student will have the opportunity to participate in a full school day (8:00am-3:15pm) alongside a Park Academy Student Ambassador in their prospective grade. 

We are sensitive to each family’s unique circumstances and understand that many situations can lead to an inquiry and potential application outside of the priority admissions cycle. If other enrollment opportunities arise outside of our traditional admissions cycle, Park Academy will update its website and social media accordingly. In the meantime, we encourage you to reach out to Lucy Davis, Admissions Coordinator, at ldavis@parkacademy.org or 503.594.8777, and to sign up for a tour. A tour is a great first step in the admissions process and families are highly encouraged to attend prior to applying (link to tour page). Please stay in touch and we will do the same, or plan to reconnect Fall 2024 when our Priority Admissions Cycle opens for the 2025-2026 school year opens.
