About Park

The Park School is a non‑sectarian, independent, gender inclusive day school of 803 students from Pre‑Kindergarten through Grade 12. Founded in 1912 as one of the early progressive schools, The Park School continues to practice a distinct educational philosophy. The core values today, as in 1912, are a belief in children’s capacity to love learning, to grow academically and emotionally when inspired by highly qualified, caring teachers, and to develop self‑discipline, confidence, and creative problem‑solving skills through deep exploration and constant challenge.

At every grade level, from Pre‑Kindergarten through Upper School, Park actively encourages questioning and conversation as essential elements of the learning process. The school philosophy emphasizes a belief in positive expectations and expects that students, as they mature, will take increasing responsibility for their own learning.

The primary objectives of the Modern Language Department are for students to gain an awareness and understanding of the culture(s) of the countries where the language is spoken and for them to speak and understand the language well enough to communicate with a native speaker. This priority is not at the expense of developing other communicative skills.

At Park, all Lower School students study Spanish beginning in Pre‑Kindergarten. Students choose to continue Spanish or begin French in sixth grade; in the Upper School students have the option to choose Mandarin.

The Modern Language faculty functions as a school‑wide department, with periodic meetings for faculty from all three divisions. There is also significant collaboration with teachers from other disciplines, particularly in the Lower School.
