At PSCS, we don't simply enroll students, we enroll families. As such, a Visit & Tour is the first step to applying, in order to ensure all prospective students and their parents/guardians have the opportunity to meet our staff and students, see classes, learn about our interactive Schedule Mapping process, and engage with the community early on. 

This visit should be made when exploring schools—before starting your application—and is for all involved parent(s), guardian(s), as well as the applying student.

Prospective students may also sign up to shadow a current student at any point.

Register by filling out our Inquiry Form, by calling 206-324-4350, or email Sieg at PSCS Admissions directly.

Our goal is to understand each child as best we can through the application process. The PSCS application process involves 4-5 steps:

• Family, Family Structure, & Guardianship Information
• Essay sections for both students and parents/guardians
• Prospective student "How To" project submission
• Teacher recommendations
• Attendance/transcripts from prior schools

Detailed description/FAQ for these steps can be found below.

Tuition aid applications are due Feb 6, 2026. Parents and Guardians will be asked to upload tax info and request needs in F.A.C.T.S. our online tuition and enrollment management system.

Please refer to our tuition aid page for even more info. 

Once a student has completed either the preliminary and/or supplemental steps of our application process, the next step is to sign up for a Full Day Visit at PSCS. This visit is intended for an applicant to come in for the day, by themself.

These are for parents/guardians only and should not be scheduled until your student's full application has been submitted. Parent Interviews will be with two members of the PSCS Administrative Team—and must take place after a student's Full Day Visit.

You'll be asked to provide the names and emails of two current teachers, who will fill out and send in an evaluation form to PSCS (we'll send them a link). We ask at least one of the teachers represent a "traditional" academic area of study (math, science, history, art, social studies, etc). Once the teacher fills out the form, they will submit it directly to PSCS.  

Those may suffice, but you can also help us understand your learner by providing recommendations from two other sources who know your child well. Coaches, mentors, camp counselors, family friends, etc.
