Educating Children Since 1902

Park Tudor is an independent school in Indianapolis, Indiana for children age 3 through grade 12. We provide an individualized learning environment where children are encouraged to explore opportunities, exceed expectations and expand possibilities.

For more than 120 years, our ongoing goal has been to prepare students to be successful and compassionate citizens of the world.

History of Park Tudor

A stone house with a steep roof is surrounded by colorful autumn trees with red, yellow, and orange leaves. Sunlight illuminates the scene, and a path leads to the entrance. Grass and fallen leaves are in the foreground.

1902

Miss Fredonia Allen, and a community leader, The Reverend James Cumming Smith, founded Tudor Hall School for Girls at 16th and Meridian Streets in Indianapolis.

1914

Park School began in 1914 as The Brooks School for boys. When that school developed financial problems in 1920, seven Indianapolis businessmen purchased it and operated it as Boys Preparatory School, and in 1929 the name of the school was changed to Park School.

1970s

When Tudor Hall merged with Park School in 1970 to become Park Tudor School, the Upper School was built and a small gymnasium was added to the larger gym. In 1976, the Fine Arts Building and Frederic M. Ayres Auditorium opened.

1980s

In 1988, the Middle School was moved from the Upper School building into a facility of its own. The Ruth Lilly Science Center was completed in 1989, giving the school a state-of-the-art science facility.

1990s

The year 1992 marked the opening of the expanded gymnasium complex. The Lower School was renovated in 1997 and joined to the new Hilbert Early Education Center, which houses junior and senior kindergarten.

2000s

In 2000, a new addition joining the Upper School to the Fine Arts Building and a total renovation of these two buildings, as well as a number of other campus improvements, were completed.

2021

The Irsay Family Sports Center for Health and Wellness opened, offering Park Tudor students a state-of-the-art facility focused on wellness, physical education, and athletics. The Wellness Center has also become a place for the PT community to gather and connect with each other.

I attended Park Tudor for 16 years, and I absolutely loved every minute of it. Not only was it my school, but I truly think of Park Tudor as my second home.

The care and support for the whole child is exceptional, with teachers fostering a strong sense of belonging and providing personalized guidance that helps students thrive both socially and academically. Students are consistently challenged and supported to succeed now and in the future.
