Founded in 1912, Park School is a non-sectarian, independent, coeducational day school with more than 800 students in pre-kindergarten through grade twelve. Daniel J. Paradis is the tenth Head of School. The school’s core values, rooted in the progressive educational philosophy of John Dewey, sustain an unshakable belief in children’s capacity to enjoy learning, to act rationally, and to grow when inspired by highly qualified, caring teachers. A fundamental commitment to inclusiveness and equity guides all programs and activities.
