Philosophy & Mission
Parker Academy is a private day school located in Concord, New Hampshire designed for families seeking a small individualized program for their son or daughter. We are approved by the State of New Hampshire for grades six through twelve (ages 11-21) including special education placements by school districts.
We subscribe to a number of principles…
What I appreciate the most about Parker Academy is the low number of students, and individualized approach to each student's needs.
Belief in Every Student
Every student is capable of more than they often realize. We help students discover their strengths, develop resilience, and build the confidence to take on new challenges.
Small Classes, Individualized Learning
Small class sizes allow us to build strong relationships, tailor instruction, and provide the support each student needs to be successful.
Wellness Through Movement & Nature
Movement, time outdoors, and opportunities to connect with nature are part of daily life at Parker because they support learning, mental health, and overall well-being.
Parents Are Part of the Team
We believe parents are essential partners in a student's education. Open communication and strong relationships between home and school help students thrive.
Community & Service
Students develop empathy, responsibility, and confidence by contributing to their school and the greater community through service, leadership, and shared experiences.
Creativity & the Arts
Art, music, and creative expression help students build confidence, solve problems, and discover new ways to communicate and learn.
Preparing Students for Life Beyond Parker
Our goal is to help students become confident, independent young adults who are prepared for success in school, work, relationships, and their communities.
