Message from Head of School

Dear Parents,

At Beach Park School, we believe that developing a child’s curiosity is a prerequisite for
higher level thought. With our Montessori approach to education, we provoke questions,
invite multiple perspectives and ultimately stretch our students’ minds. We cater specifically
to each child’s needs through experiential learning — going outside the boundaries of
grade-level, memorization-based curriculum.  Beach Park School provides the depth,
breadth and pace each student requires and deserves.

Beach Park School is a community of children and the people who celebrate their
potential. Through the passion of talented teachers, a warm friendly environment and
the enthusiastic assistance of parents, Beach Park School surrounds its students with
support, enabling them to develop their own unique gifts and learning potential.

Drawing upon Maria Montessori’s principles and practices — a method that has
successfully educated children throughout the world for more than a century —
Beach Park School prepares its students academically, socially and emotionally for
a lifetime of learning and discovery.

We hope you will consider a Beach Park School education for your child. While many
students begin their education at Beach Park School at the tender age of three, just
as many students join us at other ages. Our individual approach to learning eases the
transition to a new environment. I personally welcome you to be a part of our community.

Jan Parkinson, MPA
Head of School
