We absolutely LOVE Park Street. The community aspect has far exceeded our expectations. Every day I feel like I am dropping my girls off at an extension of our home. They feel so loved and comfortable and part of such a welcoming warm community each and every day!

Park Street School has given our four daughters a first-rate education and become a second home for our family. Our girls have been challenged and taught well in all subjects - from math to history - and we are now able to appreciate that fully, since our older ones are in middle and high school; they and their teachers remark on how well they have been prepared by Park Street School to excel in all their subjects. In particular their experiences in science and public speaking were outstanding. But why we truly love Park Street School is because of the community. The teachers and staff see their work as a calling, and their personal commitment shows. It was especially evident during the COVID pandemic. They truly love the children, and their Christian faith leads them to see them all as God’s beautiful creation. They share this grace with the students and their families in a gentle, inviting and respectful way. Our children have made friends who they continue to be close to years after elementary school. As parents, we have made deep friendships with other parents from all walks of life who share our values and dreams for our children. We feel so fortunate to have found the school.

Incredible school. Great academics, dedicated and caring teachers who are genuinely motivated to see every child succeed. Administration prioritizes family needs. Wonderful group of families and unique location and activities (ice skating at the Frog pond, recess in the Public Garden).

We have two kids who started at two years old. Our oldest is about to graduate from sixth grade and she is ready to take on the world. We feel the school has given both of our kids confidence socially, emotionally and academically. We have all (parents included) met lifelong friends and are part of the most supportive and loving community because of the school. We are constantly amazed at the things our kids know and are learning. Sending our kids to PSS was one of the best decisions we have made as parents.

Overall our experience is that the school has been a wonderful warm and nurturing environment for our children. They feel loved and learn so much. In as far as other families at the school I cannot imagine a better community to be part of.

I am in my ninth year teaching at Park Street School and there is a reason I have been here this long and plan to stay indefinitely. This school is a wonderful and special place. The administration are incredibly caring and supportive and care deeply for every student, family, and staff member. The families I have had the pleasure of teaching have become like my extended Boston family. The staff are top notch and care so deeply about their students. And the academics are like nothing I have ever seen (and I have worked at many schools.) The children are challenged, supported, equipped to face the many challenges of the 21st century, and loved unconditionally. I can't say enough about our school.

There were happy memories, but now it leaves us feeling sick to our stomach to even hear it's name.

Three of my children have graduated from Park Street School | Kids and one is currently a student. We LOVE Park Street School. I can't imagine a more caring, nurturing environment. We love the community. My children who graduated were VERY well prepared for middle school - more so than many of their peers; especially in science, writing and public speaking. All of my children are quite different from one another, but they all were equally well-loved and uniquely prepared academically. Teachers are top-notch! PSS provides the very best elementary and preschool education in Boston, hands-down.

We have been at PSS for four years now and absolutely love it. The teachers are nothing short of amazing and are so dedicated to the students. It is a very inclusive environment and if you want to participate in a very active parent's association, everyone is welcome to. Perhaps my favorite aspect of the school is that they teach the children how to be good, kind, articulate young adults - not an easy task in today's world.

This is my wife's 2nd year at PSS and she loves it...ALL of it, the students, the teachers and administration. I've grown to love everything about it as well since I've been substituting for the past few months. I taught at another school the previous 7 years and I loved my co-laborers of love (teachers) and this place feels like home as well with strong leadership. I'm blessed every time I walk through those doors.

We have two kids who've been through Park Street Kids and are now at Park Street School. We're so thankful not only for the innovative, content-rich curriculum that's allowed them to flourish academically but even more for how apparent it is that the faculty and staff really love them, encouraging their flourishing spiritually. There is no school where your child will be more loved.

Our 4 year old attends PSK and we are very pleased with the school. Having a great learning environment and Christian awareness has been truly rewarding. We look forward to sending our second child next year.

My children have attended Park Street for 6 years now, and I can't say enough wonderful things about the school, the quality of the education, the commitment of the school to the best teaching tools. My kids love the school, the teachers and the facility. The Park Street community is wonderful, and I am always impressed by how mature and nice the older kids and graduates of the school are.

Park Street KIDS is wonderful! Park Street School is average. The teachers are committed and caring, but the leadership is BELOW AVERAGE - only caring about money and the people who donate to the school - it's so obvious in everything they do. The principal doesn't even know your name (or care about your child) if you are not a major donor. Private schools -- all schools -- should care about every child, especially the leadership -

We are so grateful for Park Street School! The commitment and energy of the teachers, staff and administration are matched by a high level of parent involvement. This community works hard together to create a dynamic environment for the intellectual, spiritual and physical growth of the whole student.
