A Middle School Education at Francis W. Parker Building on the foundation of the Lower School education, Parker's Middle School continues to be attuned to the developmental needs of our students. By creating a vital school culture and a coordinated curriculum designed to meet the special developmental challenges of early adolescence, the School has created an engaging, secure, and dynamic program of study that attends equally to the student's personal growth and maturing intellectual skills. Students study English, history and social studies, mathematics laboratory science and foreign language as well as art, music, drama, and physical education.
Many classes are multidisciplinary.
Technology is integrated into the faculty's imagination and thoughtful classroom instruction. Students regularly use computers in writing, research, and presentation. Beginning in the Middle School, Parker students participate in a variety of community service opportunities. Such service not only provides a greater understanding of our culture but also furthers a sense of social commitment, which is one of the hallmarks of a Parker education. Of course you can always call the Admissions Office to request that a printed copy be mailed out to you.
