WELCOME TO PARKER

Dear Prospective Families,

Greetings! We are delighted that you are exploring Parker. Given our reputation as an educational leader for over a century, there are countless reasons to consider joining our vibrant community. 

As you will soon discover, Parker’s lasting success is rooted in our commitment to academic excellence, strong character and global awareness. Our abundant artistic, athletic and extracurricular offerings provide the space for introspection, challenge and personal growth. We believe a formative education demands intellectual, emotional, physical, and social development in equal measure.

Due to COVID-19, our admissions process will be slightly different than previous years, but no less engaging and comprehensive. Although our campuses are closed for admissions events, we have developed a virtual admissions process that allows you to safely and comfortably engage with the Parker community.

Please browse our website to learn more and be inspired. If questions about Parker or the admissions process arise, the Admissions Office is available to guide you by phone or email. 

Thank you for considering Parker, and we look forward to connecting with you.

Be well,

Christopher Sanders
