Congratulations!

We are thrilled to offer you a place in the Eastside Prep community.

Join us on campus to experience EPS as an admitted student. We hope that through visiting classes, having conversations with community members, and touring the campus, you’ll begin to experience the sense of belonging we want for all Eastside Prep students and their families

What to Expect Now

The next days will be full of excitement and possibly some questions as you are making your decision. Please reach out to us if a class visit or campus tour would help with your decision process or if you have any questions.

What are the next steps once a decision is made?

I am enrolling at Eastside Prep!

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 deadline specified on your TADS tuition agreement.
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 2025-2026. If students reside in two households, both parents/guardians have received a TADS tuition agreement to complete. 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.

I have decided to enroll elsewhere

These decisions are complex and we understand many factors are at play. We wish you the best at your new academic home. In addition to selecting ‘I Decline’ in Ravenna Hub, please inform us about the nature of your decision here as soon as you made a decision to attend another school. Please respond as soon as possible and no later than the deadline specified in the acceptance email your family received.

Accepted Family Resources & Important Dates

Transportation

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 read the Frequently Asked Questions 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: Financial Details. Please contact cschenk@eastsideprep.org if you have any questions about financial aid.
