PARTNERSHIP WITH PARENTS
Parent partnership is foundational to the mission and philosophy of Lagoon School. We are committed to supporting parents as the primary educators of their daughters. By offering continuing education programs for parents, we assist parents in their noble mission of forming their daughters to be passionate, confident, empathetic and service-oriented leaders.
Parents are responsible for the moral and spiritual upbringing of their children and the choice of school that complements this effort. Lagoon is committed to partnering with parents in this endeavor. That said, the School focuses on doing what it does well – providing an outstanding liberal arts education in a single sex setting that enables young women to thrive personally, academically and spiritually.
Our parents are important stakeholders in the School, supporting its fiscal health and long term sustainability. As a school founded by parents and professional educators, we rely on our parents’ participation in the Annual Fund and their support, at whatever level is appropriate.. We are enormously grateful for the countless ways parents steward our mission with their time, talent, treasure and/or in kind contributions. All of these efforts have a direct, positive impact on the student experience and enable us to pay it forward.
Our parents know how to communicate what sets Lagoon apart – its mission and impact in their daughter’s lives. We count on parents to tell the Lagoon story and bring colleagues, neighbors and friends to the School. We also invite parents to participate in Admission Events and welcome new families. Parents are our best ambassadors.
