HISTORY The History of Park Street School The formation of Park Street Kids, Inc. (now Park Street School, Inc.) was the culmination of more than two years of planning to create a new preschool alternative for families in Boston. After months of research in the community, it was not difficult to discern the need for a new program in the neighborhood: long waiting lists at nearby programs provided convincing evidence that the demand for high quality preschools far exceeded the supply. A collaborative effort led by a group of mothers at Park Street Church, Park Street School, Inc. became a ministry affiliated with Park Street Church (PSC). In the fall of 1999, Park Street School, Inc. was officially incorporated as a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to the moral, spiritual, and educational development of preschool age children. Thanks to the generous financial support of Park Street Church and a private donor, the Park Street Kids building was renovated both to comply with state regulations and to create a safe and innovative learning environment for children. A wonderful staff was hired, and an incredibly motivated and talented board of trustees was assembled. As a result of the success of Park Street Kids during its first three years of operation and a recognition of the need expressed by community leaders and families, a decision was made in the fall of 2002 to expand, offering an elementary school to the community. In September of 2005, the elementary school moved to its own newly renovated building at 67 Brimmer Street. Park Street School, Inc. now offered a continuous academic excellence with a content-rich curriculum and exposure to the arts, science, technology and literature for toddlers through sixth grade. In the fall of 2011, Park Street School opened an additional campus just down the street on Brimmer at the Church of the Advent, to provide a bright, airy space for its Kindergarten class. The board of trustees, governing both Park Street Kids and Park Street School, has labored for more than 20 years in order to fulfill its vision for quality education in downtown Boston. The board has encompassed a rotating group of dedicated men and women who offer their expertise, time and wisdom to the school. In 2016-2017, a survey was conducted with a variety of constituents, including current families. With much positive and fruitful feedback, several initiatives were set forth, one of which was the rebranding of the school, particularly bringing more clarity to its name. While the school remains the same in structure and character, in the spring of 2018, the board of trustees voted to simplify the school’s name from Park Street School/Park Street Kids to Park Street School.
MISSION & VALUES Mission Strategically located in historic Beacon Hill, Park Street School is a neighborhood school that seeks to unite children of diverse racial, ethnic, and economic backgrounds from Greater Boston in a nurturing school of the highest academic standards. Through an engaging, content-rich curriculum, we strive to empower and equip each child with a love of learning, a passion for truth, a heart for others, and an understanding of God’s love and grace for us in Jesus Christ. Core Values At our core, we believe each child is a unique person created by God. It’s our privilege to work alongside parents to build a fundamental framework for their children. Our community is a place where children are loved – and know they are loved. In this caring environment, our children encounter a wealth of experiences and acquire knowledge that will help them reach the potential of who God has made them to be. At Park Street School, we are committed to providing a high-quality education with values – as expressed in our school’s crest – of “character, truth and excellence.” PSS Statement of Faith We believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.
