Welcome to Parker!

We're delighted to welcome you into our community of innovative learners, creators, leaders, and changemakers.

These are unprecedented times, and now is when we need to look to our families, our friends, and our communities for support and for strength. And while Parker is fundamentally a school, at our core we are much more than a school. We are a community.

And as the Head of this remarkable community, I want to reiterate our commitment to do what we can to help. If you need anything, please ask. Truly, if there is anything any of us here at Parker can do for you and your family, we will.

We're disappointed we can't meet with you in-person for the time being. But we wanted to offer you some digital resources and information your family to get re-acquainted with our campus, programs, faculty, and staff.

Know that our admissions team is only an email or phone call away should you need to connect. You can also fill out the contact form below, and someone from our team will promptly respond.

Be well,

Kevin Yaley

Head of School
