Our signature facilitated parent discussion groups. Any grade in any of our participating NYC independent schools may set up a meeting, guided by two of our trained facilitators.
Parenting Scene
Our unique annual evening presents a speaker or panel on parenting topics geared to dads but all parents and caregivers are welcome to attend.
Teen Scene
Our acclaimed annual teen panel serves to educate parents on the issues from the teen point of view. We present a panel of kids from all four high school grades, speaking candidly on “what’s out there” for a teen growing up in the NYC independent schools.

Our seminars, webinars and panels feature expert speakers on a variety of pressing parenting issues and concerns.
