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:
“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)
“Love and work are viewed and experienced as totally separate activities motivated by separate needs. Yet, when we think about it, our common sense tells us that our most inspired, creative acts are deeply tied to our need to love and that, when we lack love, we find it difficult to work creatively; that work without love is dead, mechanical, sheer competence without vitality, that love without work grows boring, monotonous, lacks depth and passion.”
—Marta Zahaykevich, Ucranian born-U.S. psychitrist. “Critical Perspectives on Adult Women’s Development,” (1980)
“The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
