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:
“...I have never known a “movement” in the theater that did not work direct and serious harm. Indeed, I have sometimes felt that the very people associated with various “uplifting” activities in the theater are people who are astoundingly lacking in idealism.”
—Minnie Maddern Fiske (1865–1932)
“I am admonished in many ways that time is pushing me inexorably along. I am approaching the threshold of age; in 1977 I shall be 142. This is no time to be flitting about the earth. I must cease from the activities proper to youth and begin to take on the dignities and gravities and inertia proper to that season of honorable senility which is on its way.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
