ROLE OF THE PARENTS' CLUB
Throughout the year, the Parents' Club organizes many services that would otherwise need to be funded through tuition and staffed by the school. These activities benefit the students, the Academy, and the parents. We coordinate fundraising activities, administrative activities, special celebrations for the teachers, students, and the Academy. We meet at least four times during the school year to keep our parents informed and get their ideas.
Each year, parents elect officers to coordinate and facilitate the activities of the club.
