THANK YOU to all who made the 2022-2023 Parker Fund so successful!!
Important Information about The 2023-2024 Fund will be coming early Fall 2023!
The PURPOSE of the fund
Parker's personalized education is dependent on our extraordinary faculty and staff.
Parker teachers are more talented and more central to our success than at any other school. Yet they earn far less than teachers elsewhere.
We need your help!
OUR PURPOSE IS OUR STUDENTS
 |
"My colleagues do such a great job in Division One and Two coaching our students to know themselves as learners. In Division Three, we get to work with kids who are not afraid of feedback, want to grow, a nd are super comfortable in the classroom. It's a blast."— Jon Churchill, Div 3 MST |
 |
"Parker affords me the time, space and structure necessary to get to know students well and position them at the center of teaching and learning, where they belong."— Marena, Div 2 AH |
 |
"One of the most important aspects of teaching is knowing your students well. At Parker, the way school is done provides endless opportunities to get to know the students well. Knowing students leads to building relationships and these connections are crucial for growth in the students as well as myself."— KAFI, Div 2 WELLNESS |
Teachers are the Heart of Parker
Let's support the exceptional work they do!
 |
"I appreciate the way the TEACHERS at Parker involve my children in their academic journey and strive to build a family-like community."— Shawna Hayner, Parker Parent |
"There are no cracks at Parker where students can fall through! Instead, there is a finely meshed net where the STUDENTS are connected to their teachers and other adults in many, many ways.
I've seen my own children and others thrive with their learnings once they are in a place where they are seen and understood."
— Stacie Cassat Green, Parker Parent
