Park Place School

Curriculum: Instruction in the basic skills is intense. Subject areas include Reading, Phonics, Spelling, Writing and Mathematics. We implement instructional strategies that are research based. We use Virginia Standards of Learning and Common Core Curriculum as basic guidelines, but also take into account the strengths of the students. Other classes include Bible, Social Studies, Science, Physical Education, Art and Music. There is a computer lab where students take a class in keyboarding and Microsoft Office. The lab is also used frequently during various class times

Class Size and Professional Staff: Our homerooms have a maximum of 12 students. Group sizes range from 1-6 students with a teacher. Our core teachers are degreed and have professional licensure. Our enrichment teachers are all qualified to teach from their professional expertise. We have aides and volunteers from the local universities to keep our teacher-student ratio very low.

Our Values:

Honor – We honor God in all we do and live our lives in respectful relationships.
Purpose – We understand that God has a unique plan and purpose for each of us and equips us for that purpose.
Responsibility – We know we are responsible for our actions and attitudes; we care for and serve others as well as take care of God’s creation.
Freedom – We understand that there is freedom in adhering to God’s truths, setting our minds free to live redeemed lives.
Creativity – We understand that we are formed in the image of God the Creator; He has given us the ability to reflect that creative nature.
