The downtown location allows students to interact on a regular basis with the urban community, and the open campus teaches students to balance freedom with responsibility. Coming to know and negotiate their environment, our students develop self-reliance and sophistication.

At Francis Parker’s Middle School (grades 5 – 8), our goal is to inspire a true love of learning in our students. Our open classroom environment, coupled with our pastoral, rural setting, creates an idyllic educational experience that is positive and joyful.

In Francis Parker’s Lower School (grades JK – 4), our goal is to inspire a true love of learning in our students. Our open classroom environment, coupled with our pastoral, rural setting, creates a positive, joyful educational experience for children.
