Parkmont is a small, progressive, co-ed independent school serving grades 6-12 in Northwest Washington, DC. Parkmont works with a student group that is exceptionally diverse in learning style, heritage, and socio-economic status. Classes are small, experiential learning is highly valued, and relationships with teachers is a key to students' success. At Parkmont we build a community where students ally themselves with creative adults whose driving concern is their success and well-being. We challenge them with an academic program that fuses adolescent interests with traditional disciplines and respects the variety of their talents and motivations. We provide them with substantial experience in the world beyond school that invites them to see more clearly the possibilities ahead. Our students get ready to chart their own course, and we make sure they’re prepared for the journey.
