We are a great alternative:

positive and results-oriented.

Welcome to Park Place School!

Park Place School is an excellent choice for your child's education: we strengthen each child spiritually and academically by empowering deep connections to peers, community and Christ.

How do we do it?

Please check out our LEARNERS, LEADERS, and LIGHTS links to the right to see details of our goals and strategies.

Academically. Park Place School focuses on advancing children beyond expectations through engaging learning opportunities that give them a deep understanding of the world in which they live. We use nationally recognized assessments at least twice a year, classroom quick checks to monitor student progress on a weekly basis, and provide feedback when our learners need support to catch-up to their learning goals. Having small class sizes (a maximum of 16 students per class) gives the children an open door for greater engagement.

Spiritually. Park Place School provides a spiritual foundation that causes children to thrive in a warm, gracious and loving environment. The teachers and learning community are unashamedly Christian in their perspective!

Relationally. Park Place School is a welcoming community where children and teachers work and grow together to solve and think through problems and solutions. Children make deep connections and connecting with others is a huge part of growth that leads to healthy long-term relationships.

You are welcome here!

We are excited about this next school year, and look forward to continuing to make a difference, one child at a time. We would love to have you join our community! We invite you to explore our school, and encourage you to contact us if you feel that Park Place School would be a good fit for your family.

We are the Warriors!

You may have heard, after an extended process, we have adopted the name "Warriors" for our athletic teams.

This was inspired by Ephesians 6: 11:

"Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil."

Since our purpose is to strengthen our students spiritually, academically and as leaders in the community, this idea of being Warriors and 'standing' really resonated with our parents, students and faculty.

And, not bragging: we actually just won our first interscholastic basketball game! We played Norfolk Christian and though it was a close game, we won 20-17.

So, if you are keeping track, in our 20+ years as a school we are undefeated! We say it this way: "Never defeated!" (Of course, we've only played the one game so far, so...)
