Admissions
Every child belongs here.
We believe that a liberatory education should be available to every family, not just those who can afford it.
Financial aid for every family.
80% of Pear Tree families receive financial aid. We offer a sliding scale based on each family's financial situation because we believe access to excellent education is a right, not a privilege.
