Admissions

Welcome to Parker, where

every student is known and valued,

classrooms and are alive with wonder and discovery,

 theaters, design labs, art workshops, and fields breed new passions and strengths,

and every child can dream as far as the mind can see.

Thank you for your interest in learning more about Francis Parker School.

At Parker, our students are known for their joyful desire to learn, grow, and master their passions; the positive relationships they build with their peers, teachers, and community; and their ability to creatively tackle problems and effectively collaborate.

Our website contains valuable information about Parker. In this section, we have included material on the application process, tuition, financial assistance and transportation. However, the best way for you to gain insight into Parker’s unique role within the San Diego community is to visit. We look forward to seeing you on campus in the fall!

Everyday when I drop my daughter off at school I feel like there’s another parent who’s paying attention to her moral compass, her emotional well-being, and her passion for learning.

– Parker Parent
