Welcome!

If a class visit would support your decision-making, we’re happy to arrange one. Please email admissions@eastsideprep.org with:

• Your Name (student name)
• A couple of classes you would like to visit

Please note: As we move into finals, Upper School classes often include more independent work, so the classroom environment may feel quieter than usual.

Guided Campus Tours

If a campus tour would support your decision-making, we’re happy to arrange one. Please email admissions@eastsideprep.org with a couple of days and times that work well for your family, and we’ll do our best to schedule a visit.

Self-Guided Campus Tour

You may enjoy the Self-Guided Tour from the comfort of home via the Self-Guided Tour website.

The campus will be open to Self-Guided Tours during the following hours:

• Monday – Friday after 4:00 pm
• All day on Saturdays and Sundays

Woohoo! We are thrilled! It’s time to submit your contract and enrollment deposit to secure your seat.

• Enrollment Decision and Tuition Agreement. We need to hear from your family by the agreed-upon date and time with Chery Schenk to confirm your enrollment at EPS.
• Ravenna Hub Decision We would love to hear from you as soon as you’ve made your decision, which you can provide by selecting ‘I Accept’ beneath the Eastside Prep decision in Ravenna Hub.
• TADS Tuition Agreement (Enrollment Deposit) You will receive a tuition agreement email through the TADS system. By clicking on this form, you will review the enrollment contract, pay the enrollment deposit, make a payment plan selection, and select a tuition insurance option. Electronically signing the tuition agreement is necessary to confirm your student’s enrollment at EPS for 2026-27.
  • Financial aid grants for all families with qualifying financial need have been applied to the tuition agreement — for more information on Financial Aid, please see ‘Tuition, Educational Expenses & Financial Aid’ in the ‘Additional Accepted Family Resources’ below.
  • If a student resides in two households, both parents/guardians have received a TADS tuition agreement to complete, defaulting to 50%/50% contributions. Please contact billing@eastsideprep.org if any different arrangements should be made and we’ll be happy to modify for you.

We understand that our EPS community comes from different areas and transportation is a part of the decision process.

Bus Routes & Transportation Information: Transportation | Eastside Preparatory School

Carpool: Many families choose to carpool. When you provide the information which you wish to include in the EPS families directory, you will automatically be added to the carpool map (unless you wish to opt-out). Directory updates will be requested from you in the spring.

Public Transportation: Many Upper School students utilize King County Metro and Sound Transit buses from the South Kirkland Park and Ride just across NE 38th Place (a two-minute walk from campus).

Tuition, Educational Expenses & Financial Aid
We understand that investing in your student’s education can involve significant decisions. If there is anything we can do to help answer questions generated in your family’s decision-making process, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Families often have questions regarding how independent school education is funded or about what expenses beyond tuition are involved, so please visit Tuition & Other Costs | Eastside Preparatory School for those details.

When will I find out if I qualified for Financial Aid?
Financial Aid is available for families with qualifying need. If you applied for need-based aid for this coming year via Clarity, the financial aid grant is already applied to your tuition agreement in TADS (sent via email). Further details about your need-based financial aid award can be learned here: EPS Financial Aid Information

Please contact cschenk@eastsideprep.org if you have any questions about financial aid.

When you enroll at Eastside Prep, you agree to abide by the Code of Conduct and the rules that derive from them.
