Philosophic Guidelines

The following guidelines are fundamental to the implementation of our mission:

  • A close personal relationship between teacher and student is the center of the learning process at Park.
  • Learning begins with the family; the School's goal is to extend and develop that process in a spirit of cooperation among students, teachers, and parents.
  • The Park community values trust, fairness, cooperation, and sensitivity, and expects students to learn to reach outside themselves and respect the dignity of others.
  • Despite the pressures of our increasingly complex world, Park strives to maintain simplicity as a core value of the community.
  • At Park, diversity is valued, differing personal qualities, talents, and learning styles are appreciated, and the lives of all are enriched by shared experiences.
  • As a center of learning, the School generates ideas and responds thoughtfully to new ideas, emerging technologies, and social change.
  • The pursuit of rigorous academic standards guides the development of curriculum, the practice of teaching, and the goals of learning.
