Park is a close-knit, joyous and caring community and our faculty and staff share the common goals of nurturing responsible, compassionate students while providing a curriculum that promotes deep learning through experimentation and continual questioning. This is what we believe sets us apart from other schools and school systems: the combination of a caring culture and academic rigor that you will find at Park unlike anywhere else. Rigor at Park means engaging deeply with ideas, thinking critically, and persevering through challenge. It’s not about pressure for the sake of pressure. Rather, Park’s teachers guide their students to stretch themselves in meaningful, developmentally appropriate ways. We want every student here to experience the satisfaction of purposeful effort, and the confidence that comes from observable growth. More than a century of experience shows us that Park students leave us for college and the wider world as intellectually curious, self-confident, resilient, responsible citizens. They engage the world around them, knowing who they are and how they can contribute to the greater good. Park’s intentional focus on kindness and strong community means that our students care about themselves, their places in our community, and each other. The culture here has not happened by accident; it is built deliberately and thoughtfully through strong relationships, shared values, and a deep respect for one another. Whether it’s in community gatherings, outdoor adventures, collaborative projects, or the simple, daily moments strolling to class together outside from building to building crossing lines of geese, we are committed to cultivating a culture where students are recognized for who they are, supported to become who they will be, and inspired to dream and take risks to fulfill those dreams.
