Parker News

The Francis Parker School Class of 2023 is off to do great things! We’re sending our 131 graduates to over 70 different schools across the United States.

Grade 8 students had a blast at the Middle School Science Challenge. Students presented their science class projects during a fun-filled day of competition and presentations.

Beverly Yeh and Ari Gass, math teachers for Grades 6-12, are helping Parker students grow their creative problem-solving skills through productive exploration and questioning.

In March 2020, Parker social studies teachers sat down in their home-office chairs, met on Zoom, and deliberated over how to best teach the most essential curriculum to their students within the constraints brought on by the pandemic. They referred to their department’s scope and sequence guides, detailed documents created by Parker faculty that lay out specific learning targets and outcomes for each class.

Parker holds its mission statement as a bold challenge to all of us as we care for students, create programming, and steward resources to establish the best learning environment possible.

One of the most important projects your child will do in Middle School is their ungraded Middle School Portfolios.
