Why a family association?
The family’s involvement in the education process of their children is as important as their academic studies and their emotional development, that means in the comprehensive training of the student.
Families and teachers have an essential role in the development of social and cognitive abilities, besides other aspects such as creativity or moral growth. For this reason, working together and at the same time boosts the school adaptation of the kids and their personal growth.
The Association Board is the families’ voice, a channel for suggestions, complaints, and parents’ contributions to the education community.
