Description:

We invite you to come inside, experience Parker and discover how your child might change the world. Parker s progressive education is one of knowledge and individuality, of personal awareness and strength. It provides a solid foundation that empowers students to follow every path, explore every angle. Parker provides our students, and our society, with a specific, invaluable and sustainable resource: Educated people who identify themselves as creative citizens capable of thinking for themselves and listening to others especially to those who with whom they may not agree in ways that inspire them to apply their idealism in pragmatic ways as they think critically and act collaboratively to solve problems facing our world. Learning is always happening at Parker. Before and after classes each day, students have many outlets available to inspire their passions, creativity and critical thinking while learning more about themselves and the world around them. Check out recent news headlines from our classrooms and beyond, mark your calendar for one of our public events or academic conferences and peruse one of our school publications. Parker s proud tradition of philanthropic support from its community sustains its century-long approach to progressive education. Thanks to our supporters, Parker is able to pursue its mission, vision and philosophy for over 940 students in Chicago. Francis W.
