B U I LT O N TRADITION. R E A DY F O R W H AT ’ S N E X T. Park Tudor’s story began more than 100 years ago, when two neighboring schools built a dynamic new learning community in Indianapolis. From the start, Tudor Hall School for girls and Park School for boys have shared a common mission. In 1970, we united — and ever since, we have prepared students for success as compassionate citizens of the world.

1923
Tudor Hall School for Girls / When the community called for a private girls’ school, Miss Fredonia Allen and the Rev. James Cumming Smith answered. In 1902, they founded Tudor Hall at 16th and Meridian, launching a proud legacy of education in Indianapolis.
Making room for the boys / In 1914, the Brooks School opened down the street at 1545 N. Central Avenue, building upon the exciting learning community that had begun a decade earlier.
Park School / When financial challenges arose, seven Indianapolis businessmen bought the Brooks School and began operating it as Boys Preparatory School. In 1923, they moved it to Cold Spring Road on the former Carl Fisher estate. Six years later, with enrollment at a record high, it was renamed Park School.

Moving to Lilly Orchard / In 1967, Park School moved to a new campus on the former Lilly Orchard, donated by Eli Lilly, Jr., and his brother, Josiah K. Lilly, Jr.
Neighbors united / Tudor Hall and Park School merged in 1970 to become Park Tudor School. The first combined class of 28 girls and 14 boys graduated the following spring.
Build Possibility / Every day, we continue to prepare tomorrow’s leaders for the rigors of college and the opportunities of life beyond. We continue to invest in new spaces centered around learning, wellness, and innovation.
