My daughter is attending PDS in her fourth year: the school is welcoming, open-minded, and attentive to individual student needs. Just look at the campus, and you get a feel for the environment. Most of the teachers are awesome and fully engaged. I had some misgiving about some of the administrative staff, but with Angela as the new director I trust that this, too, will improve. Overall, this school has been--and continues to be--a blessing for my daughter.

The level of attunement the teachers have with each child is astounding and special. This school deeply fosters a love of learning and a community of kindness. We feel so grateful our kids (K and 2nd) are at Park Day School.

Park has been a great fit for our family over the past four years. We especially like the small class size, the deeply caring teaching staff, the close community of families, and all the benefits of progressive learning, including project based learning, meeting kids where they are at and the strong social emotional learning. Our children have developed a deep curiosity and love of learning that will serve them well though their lives.

Our son is in Kindergarten at Park Day and we couldn’t be happier. His Kindergarten teachers are a dream team, and the art, language, music, and P.E. teachers have such well thought out programming. After a shy phase in his preschool classroom (he’s a pretty extroverted kiddo otherwise), he now regu...

We absolutely love Park Day! This time last year our family was in the process of looking for a middle school, so I wanted to be sure and jump on here to share our experience for those of you considering Park Day. Choosing a middle school was a big decision for us as a queer family coming from OUSD...

As a new family at Park Day this year, we have been blown away by the warmth and genuine welcome we’ve received. From the teachers to the parent community, every interaction has been thoughtful and supportive, making us feel like part of the Park Day family from the very start. Everyone, including h...
