When parents are actively involved in their child’s education, children do better on a wide range of measures. These positive effects include: 

• Better results

• Better behavior

• More confidence and greater self-esteem 

• Higher attendance rates 

• More enthusiasm about learning 

In fact, John Hattie, a prominent educational researcher found that "the effect of parental engagement over a student's school career is equivalent to adding two or three years to that student's education". This is why we believe it is crucial that we work in partnership with parents.
