Enrollment Policy
Parnassus Preparatory School seeks to enroll a diverse and representative student body, welcoming applicants regardless of race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, gender, special needs or English-as-a-Second-Language status.
Sibling Preference
Siblings of currently enrolled students who submit an application by the application deadline will receive preference for admission. In the event we have more sibling applicants than open spaces at any grade level, we will conduct a lottery among all of the sibling applicants who met the deadline to determine admission for that grade. Siblings who are not chosen in the lottery will be placed on a waiting list and notified promptly if a space becomes available.
