15 Park’s Upper School curriculum is grounded in our progressive principles, which provide an experiential, individually-focused, and collaborative learning environment with a special emphasis on college readiness. Ours is a rigorous liberal arts curriculum requiring four credits in each of our five core disciplines - English, history, mathematics, science, and world languages. At the same time, our students are encouraged to explore their strengths through our wide array of elective offerings in both our core departments and in the arts, an approach that prioritizes each student’s pursuit of their passions and interests. In all disciplines, we stress key skills and competencies that will best prepare our students for their lives after Park: critical thinking and problem solving; clear, cogent expression in written and oral communication; diligence and work ethic; and collaboration and teamwork. The day you’re about to walk through is just one in a Grade 9 student’s six-day rotational schedule. On the other five days of the rotation, students have physical education, science lab, health, a language, Upper School community gathering, clubs, and class meetings in addition to their core discipline classes. Their schedules are robust and dynamic, taking them all over the campus each day. With many long-time Park students who have attended since PreK as well as a large number of students new to the school this year, the class is well-rounded, welcoming, and hard working. We are proud to have them as students at Park! The Class of 2028, pictured with their class advisors: Mrs. Okoniewski, Dr. Thompson, and Mr. George
