At Park Tudor, we know that learning comes in many forms and that a great education is as much about developing students’ character as it is their intellect. As a community, Park Tudor is dedicated to the following principles:

An Emphasis on Globalism, Diversity, and Community Engagement

Shaped by our evolving focus on global perspectives, inclusivity and equity, Park Tudor students develop an understanding of, and respect for, diverse backgrounds and perspectives; the desire to be knowledgeable about and empathetic toward other peoples and cultures; and the willingness to engage locally and globally.

A Commitment to Collaboration, Student Initiative, and Critical Thinking

Park Tudor believes that collaborative work ignites student potential, inspires excellence, and allows students to explore different ideas and approaches. At the same time, we understand that students must take ownership of their learning and develop the independence and self-direction needed to become strong critical thinkers.

A Time-Honored Focus on Listening, Writing, Discourse and Foundational Skills

The ability to listen and view carefully and accurately; to read and write critically and well; and to speak confidently and cogently in multiple languages are hallmarks of a Park Tudor education. These bedrock principles, in conjunction with the foundational skills and content required to deal with complex issues in Math, Science, Fine Arts and the other Humanities, remain central to what we do.

An Appreciation for Resilience, Patience, and Purpose

Persistence, grit and the ability to wrestle with challenges are among the most important traits for success in school and beyond. At Park Tudor, we recognize that learning is often difficult and that helping students develop patience and adaptability is critical to their growing sense of intellectual and ethical purpose.

A Love of the Creative, Aesthetic, and Physical

Beauty comes in many forms, but the opportunity to create new meaning in the Arts, Athletics, and all areas of the school is central to a Park Tudor education. Such creativity produces both a pride in one’s work and the humility that comes from self-reflection and critique; it also promotes the playfulness, curiosity, independence, and willingness to take risks that make learning joyful.

A Skillful and Discriminating Use of Technology and Media

Finally, we believe that we must provide students access to the latest instructional technologies while also helping them determine when technology adds value and when it distracts them from the task at hand. In taking this balanced approach, Park Tudor students can access and use information effectively while navigating media and technology in a healthy manner.

Park Tudor School was established in 1970 by a merger of Tudor Hall School for girls and Park School for boys. Both schools had operated country day school programs, and Tudor Hall also offered a boarding department.

The Reverend James Cumming Smith and Miss Fredonia Allen founded Tudor Hall School in 1902. Miss Allen was the first principal; the Reverend Smith, formerly pastor of Tabernacle Presbyterian Church, served as the school’s first dean. Although Miss Allen had a great interest in the Tudor period of England, she actually named the school after her mother, Ann Tudor Allen.

Park School began in 1914 as the Brooks School for boys. When that school developed financial problems in 1920, seven Indianapolis businessmen purchased it and operated as Boys Preparatory School. When the school moved from its Central Avenue campus to Cold Spring Road, the name of the school was changed to Park School because the new campus was near Thomas Taggart Park.

Both schools were founded to provide the kind of education offered by eastern preparatory schools of the era. The students always enjoyed a close association, not only as participants in the programs of the two schools but also as neighbors. Both schools were first located near 16th Street – Park at Central Avenue and Tudor Hall at Meridian Street. Later they occupied nearby campuses on Cold Spring Road.

Park School moved to the current Park Tudor campus in 1967. The property, which was donated by Eli Lilly Jr. and Josiah K. Lilly Jr., was the site of Lilly Orchard, a Lilly family retreat since the 1890s. In 1970, the girls of Tudor Hall moved to the campus with the merger of the two schools.

Continuing the tradition of excellence established by its predecessors, Park Tudor today offers a vigorous academic program complemented by a co-curricular program of fine arts, athletics, organizations and clubs.

In 2002, the year of its centennial, Park Tudor published a 172-page history book, “Park Tudor School: The First 100 Years.” The book, which details the rich history of the school in words and photos, is available for purchase in the LockerShop.

Park Tudor School is operated by Park Tudor Foundation, Inc. a self-perpetuating, non-profit, 501(c)(3) educational entity composed of some two hundred members. These members—most of whom are parents of current or former students or alumni of the school—are committed to the business, professional, and civic life of their community; they place their time and skills at the disposal of Park Tudor School because they believe in the kind of education it affords.

At its annual meeting, the Park Tudor Foundation elects a Board of Directors charged with setting policies for the school and with selecting a Head of School to administer those policies. The board meets regularly throughout the school year to discuss and address strategic policy issues. Day-to-day management of the school is the responsibility of the head of school and administrators. The Board of Directors solicits nominations for directors from members of the school community.

The Park Tudor Trust manages the school’s endowment and provides financial counsel to the board of directors. A roster of the foundation membership and the board of directors is included in the school directory, as well as on the Park Tudor website.

Park Tudor School serves approximately 995 students in junior kindergarten through grade 12, and is one of only three independent schools in Indiana to offer education from age three through high-school graduation.

The school’s full name is Park Tudor School. The shortened version of our school name is Park Tudor. Our school colors are red and white, with the color elements taken from our predecessor schools: the red from the red and black of Park School and the white from the green and white of Tudor Hall.

School Divisions

Below is a brief description of the organizational structure of the school. More detailed information on school policies specific to each division are located in the division sections of the Student/Parent Handbook.

Lower School: Junior Kindergarten-Grade 5

Hilbert Early Education Center

The Hilbert Early Education Center is the home to our junior kindergarten (JK) and senior kindergarten (SK) classes. Junior Kindergarten is a one-to-two-year experience designed for children who are three, four and five years old. The senior kindergarten program is for ages five and six. Both JK and SK are full-day programs.

Park Tudor’s center for early childhood education provides an environment specifically for young learners. Our programs provide a strong foundation for cultivating lifelong learning skills and building confidence and motivation. Park Tudor School is one of only three independent schools in the state to offer education from age three through high school graduation.

Grades 1-5

Park Tudor students in grades 1-5 attend the Lower School, where they are encouraged to take risks and develop confidence in their abilities to learn. In this active, family-oriented environment, each student learns respect, responsibility and resourcefulness, as well as leadership, organization and decision-making skills.

Small class sizes facilitate the perfect environment for each student to develop a unique learning style that will best enable him or her to achieve academic success both now and in the future. Lower School students can start to pursue their own individual interests in specific subjects, such as language arts, math, science, world languages, art, technology, physical education and music.

Middle School: Grades 6-8

The Park Tudor Middle School offers young people in grades 6-8 a challenging and developmentally appropriate academic program. Students acquire essential learning skills, such as critical thinking, writing and research, reading and discussion, inquiry, organization and study, while having many opportunities to engage in hands-on experiential activities. Differentiation of the curriculum is common in the classroom as a best practice in addressing varied learning styles. At the end of the eighth-grade year, students are well prepared to thrive in the Upper School.

Upper School: Grades 9-12

Park Tudor's Upper School offers students in grades 9-12 a comprehensive college-preparatory program in an active and supportive environment.

With numerous opportunities in academics, athletics, activities and fine arts, each student can find a place to belong. In fact, more than eight out of ten Upper School students are involved in both athletics and the arts.

Furthermore, Upper School students consistently average the highest SAT scores of any four-year private or public school in Indiana, and 100 percent of our seniors are accepted to colleges and universities throughout the country. Our college counselors are always available to guide each student on an individualized path to success after graduation.

For overall school information, visit the school’s website, www.parktudor.org. A weekly e-newsletter with general information about school events and activities, the Park Tudor Times Online, is e-mailed to families every Thursday morning during the school year. Important timely information also will be e-mailed to parents when appropriate. Each Division Director also sends out regular Director’s Notes to parents; these emails highlight key information for each division.

School Logos & Identity

The Crest: The official crest of the school draws elements from the crests of our predecessor schools: the tree from Park School and the crown from Tudor Hall. The crest is used in connection with formal events and activities.

The Wordmark: The Park Tudor wordmark is incorporated into all general school communications. It is often used with the descriptive statement “Exceptional Educators. Extraordinary Opportunities.”

The Mascot: Park Tudor’s mascot is the panther and the athletic teams are called the Park Tudor Panthers. The Panther logo is used for athletic-related communication and applied to athletic equipment, uniforms, and clothing sold through the school store, The LockerShop. In order to avoid confusion with other schools, no Panther representation other than the official Park Tudor Panther logo may be used.

High resolution files of Park Tudor logos are available from the Communications Office, as well as other guidelines for the school's identity, such as official colors and fonts. Use of Park Tudor logos and identity must follow the Park Tudor Brand Style Guide and should be approved by the Communications Office.

Park Tudor is located on the grounds of the former Lilly Orchard – originally a late 19th-century apple orchard and country retreat for the sons of Eli Lilly, founder of the Indianapolis pharmaceutical company.

The facility makes use of natural limestone to create a building that blends with the sloping, wooded terrain of the campus. Dramatic interior walls of stone soaring to the roofline and beautifully appointed lounges overlooking the main dining area.

Foster Hall

Named in honor of Stephen Collins Foster, whose music J.K. Lilly admired and collected, Foster Hall is one of the two original buildings on campus remaining from the days when the property was the Lilly Family orchard.

Renovated in 2008, it is a facility for meetings, seminars, conferences, receptions and dinners. A video presentation system supports laptop, slide and overhead capabilities.

All Park Tudor facilities are available for rental. For rental information, please contact Facilities Coordinator Kim Allen at kallen@parktudor.org or 415-2708.

Textbooks for Middle and Upper School students should be purchased prior to the opening of school. Your student’s books for the upcoming school year can be ordered online through eCampus.

Assignment notebooks for Middle School students and freshmen will be distributed on the first day of school.

The school offers a variety of age-appropriate extracurricular and co-curricular activities. See the school division sections of the Student/Parent Handbook for information on programs and policies specific to each school division.

Students participating in co-curricular and extracurricular activities at Park Tudor are expected to display good manners and responsible behavior at all times. Appropriate appearance, speech and actions bring credit to the student, to the group, and to the school and are a hallmark of our school. These standards are minimum expectations for participation in all school activities. Students and families must recognize that positive presence in oneself in public and private settings reflects the integrity of our school.

Student Leadership

There are many opportunities for students to engage in leadership roles. From student councils in Lower, Middle and Upper School to class offices to leadership in clubs and athletic teams, all students are encouraged to pursue leadership roles. The Upper School sponsors a number of leadership training opportunities throughout the school year and summer.

Athletics

Park Tudor believes that a child's education extends beyond the academic experience. Through participation in athletics, students learn valuable skills, such as sportsmanship, teamwork, commitment, leadership and time management. The school's comprehensive athletics program, through which student-athletes can earn varsity letters, provides a wealth of activities for both boys and girls. Park Tudor student-athletes are successful both on the field and in the classroom. Nearly 80 percent of our Upper School students are active in interscholastic athletics.

Lower School

All fourth- and fifth-grade students participate in the traditional intramural program, in which a different sport is offered each season. The primary purpose of intramural sports is participation for all and skill building, not interscholastic competition.

Fourth- and fifth-grade students may be invited to participate in middle school interscholastic track and cross-country.

Middle and Upper Schools

The Park Tudor athletic department offers Middle and Upper School students a variety of competitive interscholastic activities, open to all. We offer 16 varsity sports and 15 Middle School sports as part of a three-season schedule. These activities provide a unique opportunity to develop individual and team skills in the spirit of fun and competition. The Park Tudor Athletic Department is committed to creating an athletic experience that celebrates the spirit of competition and promotes the ideals of sportsmanship and fair play.

Interscholastic athletics are part of an extensive list of extracurricular activities open to interested Park Tudor students. Participation in extracurricular activities is strongly encouraged, but not required. Neither grades nor credit are assigned for extracurricular activity participation. Park Tudor students are required to meet high academic standards for participation in all extracurricular activities, not simply those governed by the IHSAA.

More detailed information and regulations regarding the Park Tudor Middle and Upper School Athletic Programs are available in the Park Tudor Student-Athlete Handbook.

Athletic Affiliations

Park Tudor School is a member of the Indiana High School Athletic Association, Indianapolis Independent School League, U.S. Lacrosse Association, Pioneer Academic Athletic Conference, Marion County Athletic Association and the Indiana High School Women’s Lacrosse Association.

Fine Arts

Park Tudor recognizes the importance of the fine and performing arts in the development of the human spirit and intellect. At Park Tudor, the arts are valued as a necessity – an exploration of creativity and self-discovery. Students come to know the arts through both classroom and extracurricular experience. With a complete program in music, theatre, dance and visual arts, Park Tudor offers students from junior kindergarten to high school the chance to explore their talents and skills in a variety of ways. Park Tudor offers a variety of age-appropriate performance opportunities for students in each division.

Dance

Park Tudor's dance program offers a structured curriculum with a strong classical base. The Dance Department strives to foster a love and appreciation for the study of dance as an art form and as a physical discipline. Dance provides not only an outlet for artistic expression, but also a general posture and fitness benefit. Dance students gain self-esteem and self-discipline as a result of mastering a difficult art form.

A variety of after-school extracurricular opportunities are available for students beginning in junior kindergarten. Middle School students may elect to take dance in lieu of a sport as part of their physical education studies. Upper School students may participate in dance classes for credit.

Music

The Music Department offers a comprehensive and diverse music program that offers students opportunities to sing, play instruments, appreciate music history and theory, and participate in musical performances. The faculty encourages students to explore, experiment and develop their own musical instincts. The self-discipline learned through the practice of music is a valuable skill that can enhance a child's development in other areas of learning. Music classes begin in junior kindergarten and continue through all grade levels.

Theatre and Speech

By teaching students how to express themselves more fully, the Theatre and Speech Department guides students in the continuous exploration of human understanding. Theatre and speech are seen as vital skills for students of any age.

The faculty begins to build an awareness of theatre arts and communication skills in the Lower School, with formal and informal performance and public speaking situations for all ages.

The Middle School builds upon Lower School experiences by offering continued exploration as well as specific theatrical training. Drama is a required sixth grade course, and one year of Technical Theatre or Acting class is required in seventh or eighth grade. Advanced classes are available for interested eighth graders.

In the Upper School, students may continue with a broad exploration of theatre, or they may begin to specialize in an area of interest, such as public speaking, technical theatre, acting or directing. Students may also arrange an independent study project with a Theatre faculty member.

Visual Arts

Visual Arts education is an essential part of the basic educational preparation of all Park Tudor students. Artistic discipline allows students the opportunity to explore, express and create. The Visual Arts faculty strives to help students understand and create visual art beyond the formal education setting.

The Visual Arts program recognizes the unique needs, interests and abilities of students at all levels of growth. Art is not only an important part of the formal curriculum, but it is also an important tool in the development of a student's sense of identity. Art classes are offered for grades 1-6 as part of the curriculum. Students in grades 7 and 8 may take a yearlong elective art class. Upper School electives in Art History, Ceramics, Drawing, Painting, Photography and Graphic Design are available to students who are interested in refining their abilities and learning more about art.

Private Lessons

Private lessons are available for students before, during and after the school day in the following areas: voice, piano, violin, viola, cello, string bass, trumpet, and guitar. Parents may arrange for lessons for both returning and new students by completing the online registration form available with the Opening of School forms in mid-July.

Questions should be directed to Lamonte Kuskye (415-2717), Coordinator of the Private Study Program. Private lessons in dance also may be arranged.

Payment for lessons is treated as tuition and is non-refundable (see private lesson sign-up form for specific fees). Parents are billed once each semester for lessons. The school also will bill parents for any materials purchased for their child's lessons.

Group string (violin and cello) study is available through our Young Strings Program for our Lower School students. Information about these programs will be available online and at Lower School Parents' Night.

Tuition alone does not cover the cost of a Park Tudor education. Generous donations to the Park Tudor Annual Fund from parents, grandparents, alumni, parents of alumni and friends help bridge the gap between operating expenses and what the school charges for tuition. Like other independent schools, Park Tudor must raise funds in order to:

• Balance the annual operating budget;
• Attract and retain exceptional faculty and staff;
• Fund diverse and comprehensive co-curricular activities;
• Keep tuition increases to a minimum.

Annual Fund gifts go to work immediately to support programs throughout the school. The Annual Fund includes gifts in any amount made during the fiscal year July 1 - June 30. Every gift makes a difference and helps ensure the fiscal sustainability of the school.

Park Tudor also conducts ongoing fundraising efforts in support of endowment, financial aid, new and ongoing programs, and campus improvements. The Development Office manages all these fundraising efforts that help ensure the School’s financial well-being. Additionally, the Development Office coordinates activities of the Alumni Relations Program, oversees many special events, and supports the Park Tudor Endowment Society.

The Park Tudor Endowment Society honors those who have included Park Tudor in their estate plans. Park Tudor accepts planned gifts in the form of bequests, life insurance, charitable remainder trusts, charitable gift annuities, or qualified retirement plans. These gifts can offer substantial income, capital gains, and estate tax savings, and some provide a life income to the donor or beneficiary.

In an effort to keep the number of fundraising activities at Park Tudor to a manageable limit, each class, club or other group that wishes to initiate a fundraising activity is required to obtain approval from the Development Office before undertaking the activity.

Lost items are to be found in the lost and found areas of the Hilbert Center, Lower School, Commons or the Gym. All articles of clothing and athletic gear should be clearly marked with the owner’s name. Students are responsible for all personal property and should be cautious not to leave items unsecured.

Parents are encouraged to be actively involved in the life of the school. Three parent organizations serve Park Tudor by planning and sponsoring events and raising funds.

• Park Tudor Parents Association: The PTPA is an essential element to our school's success, providing many events and fundraisers for the school. Parents are encouraged to volunteer with the PTPA.
• Park Tudor Booster Club: The Booster Club works to maintain a strong tradition of school pride, spirit and support for all PT student-athletes and athletic programs. Volunteers are needed for athletic events, sports programs, spirit nights and the Park Tudor Golf Classic.
• The Park Tudor Arts Guild: The Guild provides volunteer support for Fine Arts events and activities.

A School Directory that includes student, parent and faculty contact information is available in Veracross. The online Directory is always up-to-date with changes that occur during the school year. Parents should update their personal contact information via Veracross.

School Calendar

The school calendar is accessible via the homepage of the parent/student portals in Veracross.

Library/Media Services

Our library media centers are designed to serve multiple needs, from encouraging students to settle into a comfortable chair to read a good book, to accessing the latest research online. Our Media and Technology Integrators collaborate with classroom teachers to engage learners, providing them with the tools and skills to access, evaluate and use information effectively, setting them on the path of lifelong learning.

Our three media centers/libraries house a collection of thousands of books, audio and video titles. A large number of databases, eBooks, audio books, as well as the online catalog are available on the Internet 24 hours a day, via the Library Resources web page accessible via the parent and student portals of parktudor.org.

The Lower School Library Media Center offers a variety of educational activities, including visiting authors and illustrators, and Book Buddies, a program in which older children read to younger children. Children also participate in literature experiences, including story hour. Open access allows flexible use of the media center during the school day. The Lower School Library Media Center is open on school days from 7:45 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

The Middle School Library Media Center provides students with age-appropriate resources for young adults. Through research projects of increasing complexity, students become information literate as they prepare themselves for Upper School, the next step in their academic career. Avid readers will enjoy the activities offered by book club. The Middle School Library Media Center is open from 7:45 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. each school day.

The Upper School Library Media Center supports the curriculum by providing scholarly resources as well as books for pleasure reading. Research databases and interlibrary loan expand the walls of the center and provide worldwide resources. Students share their love of reading with others through several book clubs. In addition to book discussion, the clubs provide opportunities for leadership, community service and literary travel. The Center is open from 7:15 a.m.–6:00 p.m. on school days.
