Park City Day School is an independent private school offering a holistic educational experience for students from preschool (including toddlers) through 8th grade. Founded through the merger of two local independent schools, Park City Day School focuses on highly engaging academics, experiential learning, and community‑building that empower learners to become confident thinkers, ethical citizens, and compassionate leaders.
The school’s curriculum blends project‑based learning with a broad liberal arts foundation. Core academic subjects are enriched through designated specialist classes including science lab, wellness (physical education), Spanish language, visual and performing arts, and library, providing students with a well‑rounded education that values creativity, critical thinking, and communication. Outdoor education is a hallmark of the program: students regularly engage with Park City’s natural environment through field experiences that reinforce academic concepts and encourage resilience and environmental stewardship.
Park City Day School also participates in the Round Square consortium of schools, an international network that expands learning beyond the classroom through global collaboration, service, leadership projects, and cultural exchanges. This global focus supports students in gaining broader perspectives, appreciating diversity, and developing empathy and global citizenship.
Small class sizes and a community‑oriented culture ensure that every student is known and supported. Educators at the school emphasize personalized attention, project integration across disciplines, and meaningful relationships with families to foster both academic growth and social‑emotional development.
Unlike public school systems, Park City Day School operates as a private, nonprofit independent school, funded by tuition and donations. It is not affiliated with any particular religious organization and welcomes a diverse student body into a nurturing environment where curiosity, character, and collaborative learning thrive.
