The Value of The Quaker School

TQS is so much more than a school for students with complex challenges.

This is where your child will form authentic bonds with peers, faculty, and staff - and where you will find true support and understanding with other parents and families.

It's where the absolute best research-based solutions will help your child blossom socially, behaviorally, and academically, and where your child will build a future of previously unthinkable possibilities.

TQS is a special place, created with love and intention. An investment in a TQS education is an investment in your child's joy, confidence, and ability to become a lifelong learner.

At TQS, we are committed to ensuring this opportunity is within reach. For this reason, financial aid is readily available for all grades. We encourage you to contact us to learn more.

Creating your Account

We are excited to announce that The Quaker School at Horsham has chosen Clarity as our new financial aid application system. Our goal is to make the financial aid application process as easy as possible for your family.

You will find that Clarity offers a streamlined and user-friendly [financial aid] application process that can take as little as thirty minutes to complete. It is mobile-friendly, so you can complete your application on your phone or tablet! Furthermore, US taxpayers will have your 1040 and W2 documents from 2024 automatically transferred from the IRS when you complete the verification step, so you will no longer need to upload those documents manually. These are just a few ways in which Clarity enhances the [Program Name] application process.

Clarity has found that US taxpayers who have IRS.gov accounts before starting the Clarity Application have a much easier time completing the Clarity Enhanced Tax Verification process. You can get started on this with a few basic steps, outlined below.

If you are a US taxpayer and do not have an IRS account yet, we recommend you create one before you start your Clarity application:

Go to IRS.gov. Click on “Sign in” in the top right corner.
Find the box labeled “Individual” and click on “New to individual account? Get started.” Individual is anyone who files their personal taxes as single, married filing jointly, married filing separately, head of household, or qualifying widow/widower.
Click “Sign in or create an account” to get started. The account creation process will require users to verify their identity by using a form of official identification and taking a selfie. This is a one-time step that is a security measure required by the IRS to protect against identity theft and the compromise of personal information. Once their account is set up, this step will not be required for subsequent logins. Please reference the Tax Verification Guide for assistance.

Once you create your IRS account, you will not have to complete this extra step again in future years, and will have the ability to authorize up to three years of taxes to share with us and any other school(s) you are applying to.

We know that you may have questions about this change and how it will impact your family. We welcome you to reach out to us with any questions or concerns. We also invite you to review the Why We are Switching - Parent FAQs to learn more about Clarity!

Clarity FAQs

How does Clarity make it easier for me to apply for financial aid?

Clarity offers a streamlined, mobile friendly application that can be completed in as short as 30 minutes. Additionally, Clarity removes the need to upload your personal tax return(s) and W2(s)by transferring them directly from the IRS. When you authorize the IRS to share the documents via your IRS.gov account, the school will receive your tax returns within an hour. This saves you time so that you aren’t pulling out all of your tax returns and transposing numbers from the returns into the application. It is also more secure because you are not uploading copies of original documents, needing to redact the SSNs, and those copies or PDFs are not sitting on your desktop or in a folder on your computer, or in an email server, etc.

Why do I need an IRS.gov account?

Only US taxpayers will need an IRS.gov account. The IRS.gov site offers a secure, standard method designed to protect your identity and ensure that no one else can access your sensitive information. Clarity’s Enhanced Tax Verification process will allow you to provide authorization for the IRS to share your transcripts with Clarity. Transcripts are the most secure way of sharing your financial data, and they do not include SSNs. In fact, if you plan to use the FAFSA to apply for college financial aid, you will follow a similar process to obtain your tax transcripts just like Clarity does.

How do I set up an IRS.gov account?

Go to IRS.gov. Click on “Sign in” in the top right corner.
Find the box labeled “Individual” and click on “New to individual account? Get started.” Individual is anyone who files their personal taxes single, married filing jointly, married filing separately, head of household, or qualifying widow/widower.
Click “Sign in or create an account” to get started. The account creation process will require users to verify their identity by using a form of official identification and taking a selfie. This is a one-time step that is a security measure required by the IRS to protect against identity theft and the compromise of personal information. Once their account is set up, this step will not be required for subsequent logins.
