"When students learn to understand themselves and one another, they gain the confidence and compassion"
Park Day School is a TK-8 school in Oakland's Temescal neighborhood on a four-acre garden campus where students engage in hands-on projects and inquiry-driven lessons. Instruction uses big, interdisciplinary questions to integrate science, math, literacy, and the arts and to foster intellectual curiosity. The school emphasizes learning how to learn and cultivating flexible skills rather than memorizing static content. Core capacities include critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and adaptability. Social-emotional learning builds self-understanding, confidence, compassion, and cooperative skills. Inquiry-based, project-centered work supports students in making meaning of complex, real-world problems for an unpredictable future.
