Registration Fee
A non-refundable registration fee of $125/student is required. The fee is nonrefundable whether your child enrolls, is placed on a waiting list, or declines. Payment options include Visa, Mastercard, and American Express.
Tip: Because many employers have firewalls that prevent online payments, please use a personal computer, tablet, or smartphone to register.
Letters of Intent
Letters of intent will be emailed to all successfully registered and waitlisted families on February 12. To secure a space offered, signed letters of intent must be returned with the first month’s tuition prepayment by March 1.

Teacher and classroom assignments will be communicated to parents in August.
Priority For Enrollment

- Myers Park Presbyterian Church members not currently enrolled
- Currently enrolled Full-Day Weekday School students who have been enrolled at least 12 months

Waitlisted Families
Families for whom there is no immediate space available will be placed on the appropriate waiting list for the current school year in order of registration date and time. Waitlists do not carry over to the next school year. Because the waiting lists are created after the registration window closes each January, interested families cannot preregister for the waiting list.
Should space become available, you will be contacted regarding the opening and asked to complete a letter of intent to attend and submit the first month’s tuition to accept the space.
Group tours take place in October, November, December, and January, ahead of the registration window. Tours are not required for enrollment. A tour registration link will be available soon once tour dates have been finalized.
