SUPPORT THE ESSENCE OF PARKER


Who is the teacher who challenged, inspired and influenced you or your student? Who changed your life? Parker teachers are extraordinary.

Prioritizing small class sizes, low teacher loads, and team teaching is essential to Parker. To achieve this structure, we hire more teachers than traditional schools. This is why donors like you are ESSENTIAL! 


Help us reach our goal of $200,000 to sustain our investment in teachers.

"At Parker, I have the opportunity to form close relationships with my students.  Because of this, I can push them beyond what they think they can do and move them into the realm of what they really can do.  My deep-rooted belief that all students can do hard things and my personal investment in their success means students are more likely to exceed their own expectations over time."

 — Tess, Div 1 MST Teacher

"I feel a connection to my teachers that has helped me feel comfortable and confident when asking questions.  I know they want me to not just succeed, but go to the highest level I can.  They believe in me."

— Wyatt, Class of 2024

"Strong relationships and connections are Parker's secret sauce.  Feeling seen and understood gives my children the confidence to be curious, to take academic risks, and to love learning. My children trust themselves, believe in their capabilities, and they feel a sense of agency and ownership in their educational journeys."

 — Dawn, Class of '21 and '24 Parent

Teachers are the Heart of Parker

Let's support the exceptional work they do!

The Parker difference

Low student teacher ratios. The average student teacher ratio across Massachusetts public schools is 12 to 1—at Parker the ratio is 8 to 1.

How can I make my donation to Parker?
  • Send a check made out to The Sizer Foundation, Inc., the public charity whose purpose is to raise funds for the Parker Charter Essential School and the Theodore R. Sizer Teachers Center.
  • Become a Green & Black donor! Make a green, paperless gift to keep Parker in the black. Visit www.parker.school/giving and use your credit card to schedule a one-time, weekly, monthly, or quarterly donation to the Parker Fund. If every Parker family gave $100 a month over the next three years, we would exceed $1,000,000.

Why People Donated:

~

“The benefits of a Parker education extend far beyond the six years a student studies there. The habits of mind that students learn during their time at Parker (intellectual curiosity, persistence, critical inquiry) prepare them for success in subsequent education, work, and life. A gift that keeps on giving!”

~

“I choose Parker- because their education is crafted to the individual and not all individuals learn the same way. It is important to me- as I can see the difference it has made for both of my children. It is essential- as it is an alternative to the traditional learning approach.”

~

“I believe that Parker is a proof-point for an approach to education that many think is impossible and I believe is essential!”

~

“We support Parker because of the learning model, staff support and student community engagement. These components of learning have all been essential to our daughter’s academic success. Parker is an essential option for students who need more than the traditional learning model and what typical public schools are able/willing to provide.”
