Why Support
By Giving to The Parish School, You’re Changing the Lives of Children
Educational staff at The Parish School meet each child at his/her level of development, tailor education to each child’s strengths and weaknesses, and interact with children in ways that help them to think critically, communicate and problem-solve. Costs for providing individual treatment and experience-based education are very high. Children who have communication-based learning differences require many resources and expert teachers to reach their goals, but once they’re there – they thrive!
Your contributions support the programs and staff that make The Parish School one of the best schools in the nation for children who have communication delays and learning differences. Your donations provide technology, curriculum enhancements, and new programs that enrich our children’s educational experiences. Great schools must rely on support over and above tuition to sustain their level of excellence and innovation.
