Secondary schools eagerly enroll Park students because they become leaders on their high school campuses: in classrooms, on sports fields, and in the arts. Next schools report that Park graduates are exceptionally well prepared for the rigorous demands of high school and are insightful, curious, and optimistic learners.
What I appreciate about Park students is that they are bridge kids—they don't just achieve success at Andover, they contribute at Andover, and in doing so they build community.
