Admissions

Welcome to Park Day School

Thank you for including Park Day School in your school search. We look forward to getting to know you and your family! We invite you to start your school search by signing up to visit the school: create an account on Ravenna and click “explore” from there to register for an online information session or in-person visit. 

Park Day School provides a strong academic foundation where students learn by doing and are encouraged to follow their own curiosity. With a focus on developing intrinsic motivation, Park Day’s robust interdisciplinary academic program includes an emphasis on social justice and social emotional learning. Classes are designed to nurture a love of learning and prepare students to be informed, courageous, and compassionate people who shape a more equitable and sustainable world. Through our admission process, we seek to enroll students and families who will thrive in a collaborative, academic setting where developing intrinsic motivation is key. 

We hope that throughout your school search and the admissions process, you learn about your child, and about the educational environment that makes most sense for your family. We are here to support you every step of the way.  Please don’t hesitate to reach out 510-496-5151 or josie.agshapiro@parkdayschool.org.

Sincerely,
