Parkmont School is a small independent school serving 65
students in grades 612. Our unique academic program and warm,
supportive culture have been helping young people find success in
school since 1972.Parkmont's student body is a blend of
traditional learners who seek a smaller environment, students who
have some anxiety or ADHD, students who have had work-completion
issues or school avoidance, neurodivergent students who need
more support socially and/or academically, and students who have
had some struggles at home and need a lower-stress school
setting.Parkmont attracts talented, creative faculty who love
their jobs and their students. They work across all grade levels
and get to know their students well, and their students recognize
that they have trustworthy and compassionate guides.Our
academic program combines individuated classroom learning with
extensive and varied experiences outside the classroom. These
include frequent academic field trips, outdoor adventure trips,
camping trips, and classes that incorporate travel to such places
as Alaska, the Grand Canyon, and the Everglades. Upper School
students complete 180 hours at an internship each year, and Middle
School students participate in chaperoned group
internships.We organize the school year into five seven-week
sessions and offer a pared-down daily schedule. Students take only
three academic classes per day, including a two-hour Main Lesson.
Offerings for Main Lessons range from Anatomy and Physiology to
Writing and Media Studies. The offerings change each session, so
students are able to get a fresh start and begin a new class every
seven weeks.
