“Over the past century, progressive schools have put a lot of effort and attention into developing effective alternative forms of assessment. Instead of the one-size-fits-all standardized exams (issued in schools and through many admissions processes)… Park Day School instead favors the sorts of evaluation supported by research and described in the landmark National Research Council report How People Learn…assessments that provide students with opportunities to revise and improve their thinking, and help teachers identify problems that need to be remedied.”
– Excerpted from Loving Learning: How Progressive Education Can Save America’s Schools by Tom Little
Upon receipt of your 2021-2022 application, you will receive more information about the student assessment.
Should we move out of the current pandemic and be able to host in person visits, you can read more about what in-person visits are like.
