Francis Parker School of Louisville

Francis Parker School of Louisville is an Independent Progressive school. We have two campuses and serve students from Preschool through High School.

The philosophy of Francis Parker is rooted in the Progressive education tradition. Fundamentally, we believe that each student is imbued with strengths and challenges and that each learner must be treated as an individual. Emphasizing active, experiential learning, problem-solving, self-expression, critical thinking, collaboration, and healthy discussion and debate in every classroom, we strive to prepare young people effectively for the challenges of higher education, civic involvement, and life as a successful adult.

As a community composed of people of diverse backgrounds, beliefs, and life experiences, we ask of all our members that the tolerance, respect, and imagination required for responsible citizenship and global understanding be elements of daily practice. Throughout our program, students learn the ethical dimensions of issues, which helps them to use their talent and knowledge with wisdom, compassion, creativity, and integrity.

We are “The School of Thought.”
