Strengthening Education Through Partnership

Family University creates a three-pronged approach to developing and maintaining school-family partnerships. Through co-created training opportunities and ready-to-use resources, Family University builds the capacity of City Schools families and staff to work together to support each other and our students throughout their lifelong educational journeys.
