We are really happy with our decision to enroll our child in Park Day for middle school. The school creates a supportive environment for my daughter's learning style and centers progressive approaches to education and learning. The curriculum and classroom activities focus on teaching students personal responsibility, empathy, and kindness, and the academics are taught in a way that invites the children to learn through asking questions and exploring possibilities through critical thinking. If you are looking for rigorous academic curriculum this may not be the school for you. If you are open to a holistic approach that teaches inclusiveness and fosters collaborative learning and teaching approaches, then PDS is a great option. The students are involved together as an active student body, PDS families get together often for school activities, and the kids participate in public service projects to give back to the community. There are some areas of growth at PDS which is the case with every school. I have seen that the staff and administration are open to hearing the voices of the parents and the students and are open to the opportunity to continue to grow and strengthen the school.
