Activities
In addition to academic contests, athletics and fine arts activities, Park Tudor students are encouraged to explore areas of interest in student-led enrichment activities and clubs. The advisory period in the schedule allows students to take a break from the daily routine and have fun with clubs ranging from Culinary Club to Chinese Culture Club and PT-TV (Park Tudor Television).
Travel is also an important out-of-the-classroom experience for Park Tudor students. Students from grades 3-12 have opportunities to travel for educational experiences outside of Indianapolis. Upper School opportunities have included trips to China, Egypt and Jordan, and Spain, as well as immersion opportunities with the IU Honors Program in France, Spain and Mexico. Lower School students have the opportunity to participate in an exchange with schools in Uruguay and Spain. Park Tudor’s Model UN program is one of only nine in the United States to travel to The Hague, Netherlands for an annual conference.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“If it is to be done well, child-rearing requires, more than most activities of life, a good deal of decentering from one’s own needs and perspectives. Such decentering is relatively easy when a society is stable and when there is an extended, supportive structure that the parent can depend upon.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“Juggling produces both practical and psychological benefits.... A woman’s involvement in one role can enhance her functioning in another. Being a wife can make it easier to work outside the home. Being a mother can facilitate the activities and foster the skills of the efficient wife or of the effective worker. And employment outside the home can contribute in substantial, practical ways to how one works within the home, as a spouse and as a parent.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
“Minds do not act together in public; they simply stick together; and when their private activities are resumed, they fly apart again.”
—Frank Moore Colby (1865–1925)
