Community and Support

 We believe connection, belonging, and shared responsibility are essential to student growth — academically, socially, and emotionally.

Parents are a part of the team.

When students and families join Parker Academy, they become part of a community that supports, celebrates, and shows up for one another. Students are most successful when families feel connected to the school and to each other.

Throughout the year, we bring our community together through family barbecues, Parent Nights, Nights of the Arts, potluck dinners, field trips, and other school events. Families are encouraged to participate and help shape our school community.

Supporting a child with learning differences or neurodivergent needs can be challenging, and you don't have to navigate it alone. We believe in open communication, celebrating successes, working through challenges together, and building lasting partnerships with every family.

Giving back to our Community

Every Wednesday, Parker students leave the classroom to participate in community service throughout the Greater Concord area. Through partnerships with organizations such as Darbster Dog Rescue, the New Hampshire Veterans Home, local nursing homes, Friends of Forgotten Children, and area food pantries, students become active members of the community while making a difference for others.

Community service gives students the opportunity to practice communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and independence in authentic settings while developing empathy, confidence, and a sense of purpose. It reminds students that they have something valuable to contribute and that they are an important part of the larger community.

At Parker Academy, community is not a program — it’s the foundation. It’s how students learn to belong, to contribute, and to see themselves as capable, valued members of something larger than themselves.

Our son has made so much progress with his academics and social skills since attending Parker Academy. We love the small class size and opportunities to participate in community service. The teachers and staff are an extension of our family, they are the most caring and supportive group of individuals. The best placement for our son!
