Overview
At Parkmont we create a community where students ally themselves with creative adults whose driving concern is their success and well-being.
We provide them with substantial experience in the world beyond school that invites them to see more clearly the possibilities ahead.
And we challenge them with an academic program that fuses adolescent interests with traditional disciplines and respects the variety of their talents and motivations.
Parkmont is an independent, co-ed, and diverse school serving 65 students in grades 6-12.
Our students get ready to chart their own course; we make sure they're prepared for the journey.
At The Field School, we honor the individuality of each student by fostering an environment that is creative, connected, and inclusive.
Through research-based, innovative teaching and learning, Field faculty inspire students in grades 6-12 to become bold thinkers, inspired learners, and creative problem solvers.
