As someone who has taught in different and good school environments in the past (public and charter), I can genuinely say that Parker is the best school that I have worked at. The community is inviting, friendly, and strives to support to one another. This creates a really positive work environment in where some days go by really fast. The resources are excellent and the school provides opportunities for students to not only explore their interests, but to also help them prepare for college. I also appreciate that Parker has made strides to integrate diversity and inclusion within the curriculum. Most importantly, the students here are academically motivated and enjoy being in the classroom. As a teacher, this only drives you to constantly find new and creative learning methods that can be used in the classroom and meet the expectations of your students. Overall, I am really thankful to have the opportunity to continue working at Parker.
Francis Parker School has been instrumental in my preparedness for College, Life and in becoming a well-rounded and open-minded contributor to Society.
I was given opportunities to explore all of my passions to their fullest. The academics were rigorous and more than prepared me as I was accepted into top Universities in my field with very low acceptance rates. The teachers have been exceptional without exception. The Administration kept us safe with a hybrid program that allowed our school to be open during the pandemic without a single transmission of COVID-19.
I am a "lifer" at Parker starting in Jr. Kindergarten through to my upcoming High School S Commencement. From the Lower to the Middle through the Upper Schools I have been guided, educated and mentored by great and caring educators.
I am grateful for Parker's values of diversity, inclusion, and it's emphasis on the "whole" health and happiness of each student.
I have loved my time there and will always value it.

I LOVE PARKER! Not only are the academics and extracurriculars amazing, but the family you build there is one of a kind. People are there to help 24/7 and I love just everyone so much. Parker is a home to me.
