OUR MISSION

To support the IB (International Baccalaureate) program, high academic standards and a positive learning environment through educational and social programs, parent outreach, and community involvement.

GOALS

Community Building: The PTA provides a platform for parents to connect with each other, fostering a sense of community. Through various events and activities, we create opportunities for families to come together, share experiences, and build lasting relationships.

Supporting Education: Our PTA actively supports the educational initiatives of the school. We work closely with teachers and administrators to identify needs and contribute to projects that enhance the learning environment. This may include funding for classroom supplies, educational programs, and extracurricular activities.

Family/Guardian Involvement: The PTA encourages and facilitates family and guardian involvement in school life. Whether it's volunteering in the classroom, participating in school events, or joining committees, there are numerous ways to contribute time and skills to support students.
