School Notes Overview: |
The Park School engages the whole student in a diverse and creative community that nurtures the joy and responsibility of active learning in all, from our youngest learners to our graduates, who leave with the skills essential to college success and the confidence to serve and lead. Park provides a rigorous academic program in an educational climate that emphasizes empathy, compassion, social awareness, and a sense of belonging to a tightly- knit, multi-age community. All Park graduates are accepted to college. With an 8:1 student to teacher ratio, each student has ample opportunity to learn through experience with personal attention from dedicated teachers. Whether on a playing field or stage, in an art studio or science lab, the learning environment fostered at Park frees students from the constraints of competition and encourages them to stretch themselves. In all areas, students are encouraged to ask questions and explore their world in an open and supportive environment. At Park, education is a way of life; living and learning are inseparable. ...read more
