School Notes:
- Robert C. Parker School was founded in 1991 by a group of educators and parents who shared a vision to created a child-centered environment that fosters a lifelong love for learning...an environment free of stress and rich with opportunity. The Parker program is clearly different from more traditional education models-and with good reason. It leverages natural abilities and tendencies. It nurtures self-motivation and reinforces self-esteem. It respects each individual and at the same time fosters camaraderie, tolerance, sharing and teamwork.
