General information about your income, expenses, assets, and debts

Step 1: Create Your Clarity Account

• To get started, click here.
• Click "create an account," and provide your name and email and set your password.

Step 2: Complete the Clarity Indexed Tuition Application

• You will need to complete one Clarity application per household and all members of each household must be included on the application. Every living biological parent and legal guardian will need to submit their information for an application to be considered complete. The first parent or guardian to complete the Clarity application will have an opportunity to invite parents and guardians from outside of their household to create their own account and fill out a separate confidential application.
• Start with household and applicant information and select the school(s) to which you are applying.
• Complete your financial information, including income, expenses, assets, and debts.
• You are able to save your progress and return at any time.

Step 3: Submit The Clarity Indexed Tuition Application & Pay The Fee

• The application fee is $65 per household and covers all of the Clarity schools to which you are applying.

Step 4: Complete The Clarity Enhanced Tax Verification (ETV) Process

• This will release your W2 and personal tax return transcripts from the IRS. This is a one-time security measure required by the IRS to protect against identity theft and the compromise of personal information. Please review the Clarity Tax Verification Guide for assistance.
• Clarity has found that US taxpayers who have IRS.gov accounts before starting the Clarity Application have a much easier time completing the Enhanced Tax Verification process. This process takes just a few minutes for most users.

Step 5: Upload Required Documents

• Return to your dashboard after you submit your application as Mounds Park Academy requires you to upload additional documents including most recent pay stubs and business tax documents (if you own a business).

Step 6: Receive Your Indexed Tuition Notification

• New Families: If you apply before February 15, 2026, and your child has been accepted to Mounds Park Academy, your family’s Indexed Tuition decision will be announced on March 26, 2026 when your enrollment contract is sent. This timeline also applies to current families who are adding a sibling to MPA. If you apply after February 15, awards will be made on a rolling basis as budget allows.
• Returning Families: Your family’s Indexed Tuition will be announced on February 9, 2026 when re-enrollment opens unless you are adding a new child to the community. If you are adding a new child to the community, your entire family's agreement and Indexed Tuition will be released on March 26, 2026.
