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.

Sign and submit a Form 4506c to give Clarity permission to pull your prior year tax returns. This means you won't need to upload any of them yourself!

Complete your financial information, including income, expenses, assets, and debts.

You are able to save your progress and return at any time.

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

Complete the Clarity Enhanced Tax Verification (ETV) process to release your W-2 and personal tax return transcripts from the IRS. You'll be asked to authorize the sharing of your tax transcripts and verify your identity. This is a one-time security measure required by the IRS to protect against identity theft and the compromise of personal information.

Clarity offers two options for the enhanced tax verification process: “Clarity” and “IRS”. Please refer to the Tax Verification Guide to review the steps of this process.

Important Note: The IRS pathway is significantly faster, allowing tax documents to be transferred to Clarity within 24 hours. Clarity has found that families who have an IRS.gov account before starting the Clarity Application have a much easier time completing the process.

Return to your dashboard after you submit your application, as Mounds Park Academy requires you to upload additional documents, including your most recent pay stubs and business tax documents (if you own a business). Your application is not complete until all required documents have been uploaded and accepted.

If you receive a reminder, it means your application is not yet complete.

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.
