Get To Know Park Students
Below you’ll find a sampling of real students sharing, in their own words, the ways in which our inspiring faculty and student-centered learning help create engaging experiences, both inside and outside the classroom.
Chris, Grade 12
Discovering yourself is not a one time thing — you do it multiple times throughout your life.
One thing I learned how to do this year was to play bass guitar. There are so many emotions music can convey, and that is so much fun to experiment with. You can feel the grooviness in it, feel the excitement.
Sophia, Grade 7
I enjoy trying to be my best…and I like to try the most difficult things!
I’m very interested in what goes on in the brain and I want to be an expert in Neuroscience one day.
Ezra, Grade 1
I want to discover something that no one has ever even thought of.
BaileyNicole, Grade 12
I love analyzing text — the smallest details —
in my English courses. And having the opportunity to express myself: my thoughts, opinions, and emotions.
AJ, GRade 6
It’s important to hear other perspectives. If you just know one story, you’ll never be able to understand everything that might be important.
What I like about music is how infinite it is. There’s a range on the saxophone and clarinet, for example, but if you put two of them together there’s an even wider range. There’s no like limit to how much you can play.
Berkeley, GRade 2
Math is my specialty. I really like numbers, and solving problems is actually fun!
Jack, Grade 9
I’ve come to learn so much by being open and compassionate and really working to understand others’ perspectives. People are important to me.
Mercy, Grade 6
To be creative… I think it means to have a lot of inspiration. At Park, creativity is everywhere.
Jack, Grade 10
I love being part of a team. I’m a very competitive person — so it was great to win a championship this year. Hard work and determination pay off.
I would describe myself as someone who likes to ask a lot of questions. I like to build a great connection with my teachers and make class as enjoyable as possible!
Summer, Grade 10
I love history. And math. And I’m really excited about taking my integrated
chemistry and biology course this year.
I feel it’s an important part of learning to really get to know your classmates and connect to them on a deeper level.
Ella, Grade 12
To be a Park student is to be outspoken, to be caring, and to be invested in your community.
My favorite subject is English. Right now we’re reading Antigone, and I love how we interact with the text in different ways. One day we’ll act out a scene, and another day we’ll work on a reading guide.
