The words of Hans Froelicher, one of Park's founders and the first president of the school's board, remain true today. They reflect the progressive educational values that were revolutionary when the school was founded in 1912:
"In the school I had in mind, there would be no forcing process... the pupils were to learn because they were interested, because they loved their work,
because they loved the school, because they were inspired by the highest type of teacher, because they saw the reason of things. ...
[P]upils educated in this type of school would be infinitely more self-dependent, alert, and informed. They would be intellects, eager for knowing and doing."
